No Sir, It's 21st. Century Poem by Akhtar Jawad
No Sir, It's 21st. Century
No Sir, I regret,
I can't fight this war,
This is not the age of chivalry,
When decisive was cavalry,
When morale was to physical,
Is as eight is to one,
This is not the age of valor,
No more miracles,
No more wonders,
In the past, battles were won,
On the playing fields at Eton.
This is the age of ground realities,
Why not you realize,
Modern wars are total wars,
Bringing death and destruction,
To innocent women and children.
Many nations have weapons,
So furious so deadly,
They can destroy in minutes,
Entire human race,
And being a human,
I can not face.
Your terror can't be lasting,
Every thing has an end,
Your terror gave birth,
The illicit children,
The proxy wars,
Returned on innocent,
And helpless people.
You will lose ultimately,
This war is futile,
You shall leave behind,
Hates and distances.
Our coming generations,
Will face the consequences,
As we are facing.
The deeds of the past,
Reflected and refracted,
Burning body and soul.
Don't put the clock back,
Please learn the lesson,
Of coexistence.
It's the path of survival,
You preach me to join,
A war self imposed,
No sir, It's 21st. century.
It's 21st century, pinnacle of destructive development! ..... A deep and relevant message delivered through witty use of words.........
I like to read your poem and its really good. This is a poem of present age. war is an unavoidable political situation. Recently few months back, Barack Obama was almost going to declare the war against Syria. However, Its the right time to write the poem. Many nations have weapons, So furious so deadly, Yes, its a dangerous point. Specially, the Chemical weapons. Our coming generations, Will face the consequences, As we are facing. The deeds of the past, The consequences of Japan at the time of II world war, and other wars are still alive in our present civilization. Previously, only the Kings were affected in war but now the common people are the main victims of the violence of the war. Its not only a poem, but also a message of conscience from the depth of your heart. Thank you for sharing this with us. And as a poem, its needless to say, its an excellent one. Ruma.
The voice of a Man with a soul desiring for peace, having his grip strong on truth of the moment...chivalry and valor have changed their complexions...realization and understanding of the present condition is better than staying in disillusionment! ! !

Akhtarbhai moved with your poem.... fine in support few lines....10 Why shall we not choose? There is nothing to lose Peace may have upper hand People may love to be friends How long we shed precious blood? Many parts of world have no food Many starve to death in African continent Why not we make survival movement? Kill no one for political reasons Keep some room for religious tolerance No one stops from preaching/professing any religion Each individual is free to live in his region
