What a great waste is war
For it puts everything to waste
It is all for a need they say
To bring back the lands together
But that is what they said long back
When the united land was divided.
It is all for a need they say
But it takes away our needs
there is nothing left to feed
no place to work or play
no houses left for us to rest.
As the enemy is on the march
we are looking to resist and rest
how long can we run from the land
where in peace once we did dwell
where the winds of war seldom came.
Then you came and felt the need
good counsel came from all sides
but the need made you pay no heed
in the midst and stuck in the mire
Is it too late to turn back now
when the evil of war became your peril?

Oh, division and war and raging fires and on and on with insanity – what will it take?
May good sense prevail.
I’m not sure we have good sense anymore – surely our ethics have been eroded – and common sense is dead. Sorry to sound so depressing.
I agree totally with your profound poem, Sunith. War is achieving nothing except total destruction and people all having no where to go.
Thank you Kamal for sharing your thoughts.
Welcome dear Sunith
Very well said, deeply beautiful poem!
Thank you Pragalbha
It’s all about sacrificing others to put ones name in history. May good sense prevail.
Truly said. Thank you
