We are peace lovers

Saturday, 5th Feb 2022

 

We are peace lovers

and offer

congenial atmosphere

for all to usher in peace sans fear

 

No country can afford an enemy next door

each step must be taken with care

in no way, it should be allowed to vitiate

no speech or words must relate hatred

 

Wars are not the outcome of a day

it has traveled a long way

once a part of a great Russian Empire

now it has aspired to be of its own

 

some tragedies are man-made

and turn thousands dead

no country can pose a security threat to a neighbor

you can't become a part of a grand design to cause dishonor

 

you must preserve the neutral character

and play a part of the peaceful observer

and declare" my country shall not a hotbed of hostile activities"

and we shall address the problem security priorities

 

there is no other cause so holier than to die for the country

but it is sheer madness to push the country to destruction

Invite the death of innocent and take a course to disintegration

still, you are asking for arms and annihilating the nation

 

Why do you expect other nations to join and jump in the fray?

fight for your independence and invite war in a hawkish way

making the way for world war and make huge losses for mankind

it is better to halt the destruction and find a peaceful solution

 

we, as the Pentacian peace lovers, would have appreciated

if the wise counsel had prevailed and promoted

the peace without shedding a drop of blood

and given food for thought, "No hatred but only peace"

 

How can you send the whole nation to a collapse?

and make the citizens suffer as refugees

take shelter in nearby countries

and undergo mental anguish and miseries
