| Barriers - A War Poem |
|
What is war? It is one of those barriers erected by humans, Which shows how much man Hates man, and causes Brothers to take up arms ’gainst each other. The beauty of Nature marred and destroyed, And the face of Earth Scarred and stained with innocent blood; While mothers shed futile tears On the mutilated corpses of their sons.
What are nations? Merely a barrier erected by humans; There is one Earth, But men cut her up into fragments For their satisfaction and Convenience. Physical boundaries Sufficient to create bad blood; And Mother Earth’s pleas ignored.
What is religion? Another barrier between humans, Making them spite each other. There is one God, and religions Are path traversed by man to reach Him. Some walk fast and straight, Others wander, dawdle, stroll, meander. Two men can never be identical And neither the religion they profess.
Who are terrorists? A group of people building barriers between humans; Why do they create unrest In the world? They are not different from men- So why should man kill man? Are they hungry for blood? Is that why they shed gallons of it? They are a plethora of uncouth voices Clamouring for attention.
What is money? Nothing but a barrier between humans; Pieces of paper Those who have it are called ‘rich’, And those who don’t Are exploited and called names, Looked down upon as ‘poor’. A conspiracy By unknown forces To make men jealous, Suspicious and selfish.
Oh, all these human barriers- Time has demolished a few, But most remain, and many more Are constructed each day. The future looks bleak And claustrophobic…
