Nationalism, War, victory And Defeat--2. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

Nationalism, War, victory And Defeat--2.

Rating: 5.0


The awful situations in Hiroshima
and Nagasaki are green in memory.
Still Nations fight wars to defend
sovereignty and annex territory.
One year is gone in fighting between Russia and Ukraine.
People still die, bombs still rain.
Neither president Putin nor his
counter part in Ukraine, with steely hearts, are willing truely
for peaceful negotiation.
Armament producing Nations
and weapon industries love nationalism that creates wars, shed crocodile tears,
take them as golden opportunity
to bulk up their production.
Fighting for territory has no meaning
in today's age;
as internet and laboratories dominate
the financial scape.
But still nationalism refuses to die,
wars continue on earth,
no body cries for it in any corner.
Only innocent mothers, kith and kins,
progenies of combatants and civilians
died and dying are
shedding tears.
If leads to third world war,
definitely suicidal for all.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Nationalism needs war in which every body may suffer.

When cowards like you will die, there can we think of peace. Take some poison and share it with your wife. You see, veteran poet Hasmukhlal died, nobody cried and I am sure everybody except that Phillipine lady will be happy if you die! Follow my advice please! !

Do you think that I am afraid of your Phillipines lady friend? No, not at all. But I wonder you and your wife have united all seniors to go against me. It's OK but I don't think that girl who belongs to this age group!

You have spoken for all of us who watch young lives being sacrificed in the name of nationalism. Horrified and sad.
