The Crimes Of War Poem by Chitra Bisht

The Crimes Of War

Rating: 5.0

Wars happen when powerful people decide
For which innocents pay the price

Armed conflicts between societies
Causing shift in people's priorities

Countless lives are lost in the fight
Lesser fortunate ones maimed or paralysed

Fuel intense hatred for the people on other side
Become victims or puppets for those who decide

Countless civilians brutally murdered
Even the hostages and those who surrendered

Plundering of property, enslavement happen
Medics and journalists also becoming victims

Treaties and conventions don't matter to them
Unethical things happen, causing mayhem

War is ambitious people planning
War is innocent ones falling

2) patriotism is a weapon that such insecure individuals use against their own people to make them do things which they never wanted to..

I beg to differ Chitra. War is how insecure leaders negotiate with their own fears. Someone has said, at the top everybody is alone. He or she cannot trust even his/her shadow.
