Answer Me! Poem by Shahzia Batool

Answer Me!

Rating: 2.8


After the death
of the last man
in a series of wild revenge
between the two families
which lasted till three generations
to the date
now the courts are set
comprising elders of the clan
invitations are sent to widows
for the peace-settlement
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
what is peace?

PEACE I THINK IT COMES FROM FAITH WHERE THE FAITH IS THE SON OF LOVE AND THE LOVE IS THE DAUGHTER OF GOOD HEART- Shahzia it takes some time and takes souls of beloved ones from us and that peace is not stable as the devil cycle of death still in our culture. may i say it needs changes in every heart-(to love for your bro/sis what u love for yourself) -and that is the measurement of our faith

peace is the absence of all kinds of violence... It is conflict management.... Our object should be peace.. one should live peacefully and maintain cordial friendly relations...

Poignant. No one has answers of such acts which create bad blood between warring families which last generations together. Love is the only recourse left.
