The sword

Sunday,11th August 2019

 

The sword can cut the neck

the missiles can destroy the deck

the bombs can destroy the cities

these are all destructive capabilities

 

we can annihilate

but we can't get

the soul back to life again

it is really painful

 

how easy it is?

to release the destruction

but can't release the energy

to protect the brethren sent by an almighty

 

with one button

everything has gone

into flames

who is to be blamed?

 

is it human tendency?

that is blamed already

or our greed for more land!

or failure to control dead end!

 

the answer lies within

the consequences are seen 

but forgotten soon

with the fresh arrival of monsoon
