At The Time Of War Poem by Jinnuraine Jaigirdar

At the time of war, speedily people die,
Dies quickly with firing of bullet, bomb & missile;
The soldiers' excess all around rife,
Arms race in the wilderness of life;
At the time of war, People die gradually,
Due to deprivation, indirectly, slowly,
People groan in pain again and again,
Life patiently exhausted by the screams bargain.

The saviour dies during war in satiety,
Dies the truth, Dies the humanity,
Dies the soldier, Dies civilisations' dignity;
At the time of war,
Death does not kill bloodless Palestinians,
Does not kill the souls of powerless Syrians,
Does not kill the ghost of fragmented Iraqis,
Does not kill the genie of illuminated Afghans,
Because they are not human beings but incarnations!
