Ceasefire Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Ceasefire
Saturday,22nd May 2021

Better late than never
peace is the best offer
guns are silenced
ceasefire is promised

let us hope it lasts long
no question, who went wrong?
what was achieved?
the claims on both sides are to be believed

is it not the dangerous signal?
for the world to wait for the arrival
and counter the third world war
even though the possibility is very far

but broadly speaking
we are licking humanity wounds
when shall the peace be found?
why not we understand?

nothing can be achieved!
if it believed through the war
only destruction and loss of men and material
the progress and prosperity shall remain only in the dream

if you look at the destruction!
what shall be our conscience instruction?
war is no solution
peace should be the only resolution
Dr Hasmukh Mehta
