Scenes from the war zone!!
Missile and rockets darting
from one side to the other,
Making the sky tremble
No less than the earth below.
Houses and tall buildings,
Crumbling down like pack of cards,
Debris piled up on the ground,
Silent proof of utter devastation,
Caused by insane minds.
Hapless victims praying for life,
In the wake of unimaginable plight,
Keep asking themselves and others,
" What crime or sin did we commit,
To deserve this inhuman torture? "
What evil spirit did initiate,
This mad, mad, misadventure,
Thrusting unsuspecting lives,
Into the blazing flames of
Excruciating pain and death?
But what I seek to know is not,
Who to blame for this bloody venture,
Nor does it interest me to learn,
Who is losing ground in the battle,
Or, who is likely to emerge the winner.
For, I know it's never going to end,
As hatred begets hatred only,
And revenge with its deadly teeth,
Is ever on prowl to dig out again,
What appears to have been buried.
But my heart instinctively goes
Beyond the visuals on TV screen
Imagining the fate of those abducted
Destined to undergo untold sufferings
For no fault of theirs.
I know its rather futile to hope
An early end to this ugly warfare
But do wish some miracle to happen
Concluding it in amicable solutions
To avoid further loss of precious lives
