War Poem by MUSAWIR RAAKH

SOME PROUD LEGS FLEW THE DUST
SOME HUMMING HORSES ROSE THE GUST

SOME SHINING SWORDS SLASHED THE FLESH
SOME STONES WERE THROWN LIKE A SPLASH

SOME WERE BURNT IN THE NAME OF GOD
SOME WERE CUT IN THE NAME OF LORD

SOME WERE SLASHED BECAUSE OF COLOR
SOME WERE SLAUGHTERED IN AIMLESS ANGER

SOME WERE MURDERED FOR THEIR WEALTH
SOME WERE THREATENED OF REASONLESS DEATH

SOME WERE KILLED BY JETS' OF WAR
SOME ESCAPING JETS, WHICH ESCAPED RADAR

SOME WERE SHOT BECAUSE OF MINOR DEFECT
SUCH AS THEY WERE THEIR SELF 'PERFECT'

I DO NOT GET, WHAT THEY GET
FROM THE EVIL WAR, HOPE THEY REGRET

IF HUMAN ARE THEY, THEN HUMAN WE ARE
THEN WHY IS THERE, A FORCED WAR

A PIECE OF LAND, MADE OF SOIL OR SAND
SOME RIVERS OR DAMS, OR DIAMONDS' LAND

NOT MORE VALUABLE THAN HUMAN LIFE
SOMEONE'S FATHER, MOTHER, HUSBAND & WIFE
