Why Should There Be? Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Why should there be?
Friday,28th May 2021

Why should there be a war?
why do we allow the dark clouds to come near?
there is apprehension and fear
that pushes us very far

who likes the warlike situation?
and suffering for the nation
that has a lot more to worry and
concern
and take care of brother humans

let us not think from one particular angle?
it is a human struggle
to find a safe home
and welcome peace

what if one side breaks the silence?
breaks the ceasefire and creates a tense situation
it is a brave attempt to defend the motherland
and at the same time initiate the peace process to end hostility

let the innocent not suffer
no blood should spill here
this is a holy land for us to live in
and hostility is to be shown
