War and peace

War is no solution
and it can never be
history is witness
such brutality it has seen.
Man then introspects
why at war he has been
enemy is not the man
but the hatred he harbors within.
Nothing man gains
but pain and misery
yet he is at war again
though earlier wounds aren't healed.
And there is a sane man
who cries loud but peace
bombs and bullets fly all over
yet the world hears him speak.
Why is it that the world is at war
knowing well that it wants peace
had it been at peace whatever be
where all he would have been!

Hiroshima

Might is right
that's law of jungle
and man has made
the world a jungle!
Victory at any cost
no matter lives are lost
shoot,kill and bomb
nationality is above all.
Humanity takes a back seat
in matters of nations and boundaries
tenderness and humility
they are virtues of only weaklings.
The earth then became a sun
lives evaporated
things disappeared
whatever and whoever remained
was half dead
and in unbearable pain.
What purpose did it serve
man was at his worst
sixty years down the line
the memory haunts the peace loving.
We bow in respect and memory
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
bombs bring destruction and misery
but man wants and hopes for peace!

An exotic fruit

Table laid with rich spread
on a five star cruise
what is there
that's not there
come and have a look.
It misses a lot
this spread we envy
where is that exotic fruit?
No melon no water melon
I'm none of these
does melon have a heart
blood red and big?
Not there on a table spread
I'm happy to hang on tree
where they feast merrily on me
the worms and feathered beings.
Happy and satisfied
they thank the stars
that a fruit with such a big heart
it hangs for them on a tree!

World of ants and insects

Ants and insects          
are highly evolved
for it's no joke
to colonize every hole.
They fear humans
and who won't listen
sharp is their sting and bite
never weigh it in terms of their size.
One who understands
they too reciprocate
and make friends with one
who extends his hand.
All creatures are made special
what is given to one
it's not given to another
they learn from one another
an ant, an insect or a human!

A rose

Beauty looks at Rose
what is that that's missing
that I look but no rose.
Be it in color or shade
fragrance of a rare scent
feel soft,silky or velvet
nothing ever comes close
rose is but a rose.
It's name is used often
but all that is fake
life is not all roses
but a Rose of it some make!
