No More War, For God's Sake Poem by Kazi Ahmed

O leaders of the world!
When will you be aware?
How many days will it need to be conscious?
When the sleep of Kumbhakarna* will be broken?
When will you recognize that killing human cannot be the motto?
There are so many problems
There is so much to do
Some people are wasting food whereas some are starving!
How long it can go?
How long one individual or a group of few individuals will decide the fate of billions?
How long?
O leaders of the universe?
When will you awake?
When will you be above your petty interest?
When the greater mass will be heard?
O Mr Nicolas Sarkozy, Mr Barack Obama, Mr David Cameron and Mr Benjamin Netanyahu
We plea to you
We plea for rising above the minor issue
And please please please stop killing of human lives
If not today
One day you will have to answer
If not here; may be there
I bet
You will have to answer.

*Kumbhakarna is a Rakhsassa (Monster) and brother of Ravana in the Indian epic Ramayana. He was considered so pious, intelligent and brave that Indra (one of the Devta) was jealous of him. Along with his brothers, Ravana and Vibhishana, Kumbhakarna prayed profoundly to Lord Brahma to please Him. When the time came for asking a boon (blessing) from Brahma, his tongue was tied by goddess Saraswati (acting on Indra's request) . So instead of asking 'Indraasana' (seat of Indra) , he asked for 'Nidraasana' (bed for sleeping) . So most of the time in his entire life he remained slept. His bravery and intelligence was of no use to Ravana and ultimately Ravana was defeated by Rama in the war of Lanka.
