Yearning For Dawn Poem by Prayag Saikia

Don't swear vengeance
for the vandal's lunacy.

Think of a world,
with the maxim-gun*.

Do you have a maxim-gun(?)
Search for it;
All lores will lead you.
We don't want to dig trenches
for perilous reminiscences.

Here men sleep,
decades long,
yearning for dawn.
And
dawn should not be a mirage.
Think of a world with maxim-gun.

Be a pacifist
to blow out
the sadistic bonfires of war wolves.



* maxim gun here isn't in the spirit of
Hiram Maxim's invention
