Just War Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Just War

Rating: 5.0


It may be just war
With nothing to offer
Justice or injustice
It is breach of trust and promise

Who will want to suffer?
When it has nothing to offer
Except war widows and orphans
What can be left behind except pain?

Many might have been rendered homeless?
The world might have to see ugly face
Face the hunger and colossal losses
Still left more with humanitarian issues

Many bodies may lye scattered
Not a word about them to be uttered
It is sheer madness and joke
Houses burn with thick smoke

Who will identify bodies?
Whether belong to men or ladies!
Total disrespect to human being
We have seen wars and gained nothing

Vultures may eat flashes
War may soon finish
Nothing to look back for reasons
World at large might have lost best persons

World bodies suffer from politics
Seized with numbers and statistics
Big countries may influence their decision
Poor countries may suffer because of indecision

We may watch it as helpless game
There is no one to whom you can blame
It may go on so long ambition remains
Countries may go in for war even if their treasure drains

War may be necessary in extreme situation
When there may be more danger of its continuation
Hiroshima and Nagasaki are living examples
Where we had to bury neutrality and principles

War wounds are not easy to heal
The nationals may bitterly feel
Bear grudge against nations imposing war
Then where we will end and go how far?
