The destructive clouds of war
Surround the planet earth,
Drifting unabatedly
>From continent to continent
Spreading tentacles of hatred;
They vie to create mayhem
At every possible place.
The mother earth mourns,
Reacts with calamities natural
For it can either bear or glimpse
Children dying mercilessly,
Youth responding aggressively,
Humiliating old people ruthlessly,
The holy earth suffering mutely.
Anxious for “peace and harmony”
The ordinary human looks frighten;
At times, all hopes appear vain
While similar dawn peeps once again.
Yes, the destructive clouds of war
Menacingly surround the planet earth.
