Enough of war, terrorism and massacre.
Enough of Bombs, guns and bullets.
Enough in the name of scientific research
and defence budget.
Can we please pause for a while and think
“Where are we leading to?”
Seems everyone is hungry here
emotionally dried up, mentally tired and psychologically disturbed
Greed has become necessity, a routine and practise
And all are turning megalomaniac
Knowledge has become demon
and love has lost its value, its place.
evil is overpowering good
being wild seems to be new breed of human.
Have we ever tried using love as weapon?
I have practised at times.
It certainly kills, yes the beast within
yet never hurts.
It connects one to self,
I to me and residual is peace.
Can we all just gulp a capsule of love
And give life another chance to live.
Or are we all sort of prepared for doomsday
I am sure its not so far
the way we are avoiding love
and becoming typically robotic.
