On Course To Kiss The Curse Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
On Course To Kiss The Curse
A failed State with no sense of remorse,
Flaunting nukes— a far too-flogged tired horse,
How far can go a bomb?
No farther than one's tomb,
All spent seems its help-me-or-else force.

No doubt, we are talking of India's neighbour— no longer a cohesive State. They have for long arm-twisted USA, and most of the world, flaunting nuclear weapons: give us aid, free doles, or else….
How things change but to remain the same! In 2019 when this ditty gets a relook the country counts on the same trick, this time on Kashmir issue.

Ouch, ouch, OUCH! ! ! ! Our arm(s) hurts, due to armaments, me thinks! ! ! speaking of China, i suppose. i'm no world-watcher. and i'm glad i'm not one of the ones 'running' this OR any other country! ! ! Heck, lots of people are glad! ! bri :)
I see what you mean. You referred to Chins, but but if you read carefully I am primarily talking about another country. It is not hard to guess. Thank you for taking interest and for incisive comments. I am always for frank comments. There is too much of goody-goody feedback, which would lower the standards of the poems. Have you seen any rating less than 10?

p.s. i liked/was attracted to...the title. and NOW i've read the 'topics' and see " humour" as well as " war" . i guess i may spy a tiny humor/humour in it....if i get out my poetic magnifying glass. :)
Thank you Bri, it is basically humour and as is my limerick style it always tries to tell something. As to humour and war both sharing a place together does of course seem a bit in-congruent, I agree with you. But then PH has not listed humour as a subject, though it has laughter, and funny (and I do find it funny) .
