LET'S NOT, FOR GOD'S SAKE, MANUFACTURE WEAPONS!


LET'S NOT, FOR GOD'S SAKE, MANUFACTURE WEAPONS!

Let's not manufacture the deadliest weapons of mass destructions;
That can, within less than a second, bulldoze all the lovely and golden global constructions,
That can erase all the oldest and the green est trees of peace, harmony and fraternity,
That can dry millions of perennial streams of agility, happiness, sweetness and serenity!

Let's not proliferate the ghastliest ammunitions for our sordid and short-lived gains;
That can, within less than a moment, call the hell to build on earth deaths' mammoth mountains,
To wake the man-made live volcanoes of limitless devastations up forever,
To extinct all the living organisms like dinosaurs leaving not a liver to respire!

Let's not buy and amass the most lethal armaments emptying govt. exchequers,
Misusing the hard and honest sweats of the labourers, tax payers and workers;
To establish short-lived supremacy, to feed egos with the delicious-dangerous dishes,
To dig the unfathomable ditches for all, and turn the heaven on earth into black ashes!

Let's not, for God's sake, too blindly indulge in the gory and regrettable arms races,
Before it is too late to repent and cry in vain when the whole earth instantly perishes!

  2. Wonderful poem, Beautifully penned with nice and apt words. Very much relevant to today's situation(Ukrain-Russia).Nobody knows the fact/ reasons behind it!
    But one whole local society is going to get affected for several generations!
    Nobody is there to cc ontrol it, or manag we the situations to avoid it, or at least to take care of those situations and concerned lives. Anyway one who got affected, is genuinely suffering from the trauma. And nobody c as n deny it; but everybody will speak on it in various colours and then they'll turn the mic to other events. That's all! Will there be, "SAMBHAVAMI YUGE YUGE" NOW ALSO?
    We have to wait and see, if we believe on those expressions! But will there be enough time allowed by these red-eyed ones! Will this help to take our request to "Please Stop These Attrocities for the heaven's sake and at least leave these helpless people to live their life peacefully!", since it has to reach to very tiny EARS travelling sever as l MILES ahead! O God please save all!
    Thank you so Shankar ji fried forwarding your beautiful poem on this right time to remind about the wars and war-torn people on this planet.
    💐👏👏😍
