Battlefields Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

At wars
We might win or
We might lose anytime,
Anywhere and everywhere
Simply because that's
The way with things
Around us...
We have to admit that
We are there just to defend
Our dignity...
Our side looks for dignity
Amid any thorough victory, but
The other side looks for something
Else which is other than dignity...
Anyhow wars are a short way towards
Either havoc or
Towards an honorable peace against
A bitter enemy anytime...
Undoubtedly no one wants those ugly wars
Other than warmongers, arms-traders, and
Any sick minds
Here and there...
Victory is a good outcome to any justified war
Simply because it leads to an honorable peace...
Although battlefields are not preferred, but
They sometimes remain a short-cut towards a legitimate peace...
The sound of mind breaks all barriers of
Those ugly wars or battlefields, but
Do we have it?
