The World Is On Fire. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

On fire is the world and
the heart is burning.
On fire is the life and
the wars are continuing.

How much ruthless, nonsensical
is the warring human heart.
Never realises the sufferings that
befall on dwellers of the earth.

Missiles and guns are fired
to devastate air, water and land.
Innocent lives and environment
are spared, no hope to end.

Economies are endangered,
lives encounter wants and crises.
Inflation continues to rise due to
warring and whimsical wishes.

War is never a solution for
the imbroglios between nations.
Peaceful negotiations and good
understanding are the seeds of
normalisation.

All of us are duty bound to work
for conservation of mother earth.
Failure to do so would deprive us
of our wide berth and mirth.
