Burning Middle East Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

How are the fighters
And what war they fighting,
Waging at the cost of
Humanity and humanitarian values,
The monsters of war
So thrilled with hate speecches,
Revenge theories,
Misanthropy and partisan philosophy?

I think they are not men,
Man-lovers not, man-haters,
Religiously-blind people,
A fundamentalist and orthodox lot,
The same men
Who participated in ctusades
Religious wars,
Sectarian and theocratic beings.
