Peace Poem by Ata Khan

Peace

Rating: 4.3


The angel of death
in shock and awe
stands, perplexed

While terrorized
hysterically, a dog
looks around,
limping
falling
and rising
again

Bodies burning
turning coal
thick,
blackened
ghostlike smoke
unceasingly fueled
on flesh and
bone...

A village
last night
in ashen-ed dust
Children,
in park?
No signs of life
Yet, no vultures in sight
but the smoke …

Mankind
Hail to you
Does peace prevail?
Yes, in carnage
the Eternal
Peace...

Beautiful. Peace - the one thing that is most needed in this world right now. May I suggest you to read another one written along similar lines? It's called 'Smudge of Blood' (I didn't write it) . I read it today and it made me cry.

Very sad fact of observing the innocent lives being destroyed by the unnatural sources of destructive powers. Peace is a beautiful dream to actualise among all the hoplessness of events around the globe. thanks for sharing your thoughts.
