Give Peace a Chance

Oops! A night ended, new sunshine
But no energy, no charm at all
The sky is blue and clean
But carries no pleasure and ecstasy

The day started or it has ended
You should not decide!
The rattling guns are always awake
To start at new target and end one down

Again a fight has been fought
You need not know for what and why!
They say it is only for the people
You cannot say people are dying

They say bad blood is the problem
You cannot say all have red in their vein
You cannot say you won’t kill your people
You opt to rattle or get rattled through

They say you are brave and should fight
Your father and your brother had done too
But what they have got never mind
Point at target and down with “bang”

The world seems to be forlorn and agonized
Forget the birds chirp and butterfly dance
Forget your child innocence and wife’s face
Get ready for victory over your dead brothers


They say they had won and conquered
In every dead you can see your brother
The blood shredded clothes and bare body
You feel like butcher before slaughter house


Really won what, no one dare to answer
You have won but you have loosed
Lost your dignity as superior creature
Animals too fight for power and territory

Dead bodies all over the battle field
Some headless and some shredded with blood
Dare to listen what they might be saying
May it be “Give peace a chance!”
