One day a child asked his Father
Daddy, What is a War?
What is it Meant For?
Is it to gain Independence?
Or
Is it a Play of people with no sense?
His Father remained quiet,
He was Looking through
The moonless night,
The child again asked-----
Is it to have money ?
To have more milk and Fruits and Honey?
But all these we are having;
So, Why one wants to become
The King of Kings ?
Because
Nature will End everything Tomorrow
And if we don't live in Peace,
The only thing Left
Will be Sorrow.
His Father Kept Quiet,
And kept looking through
The moonless night,
The Child asked----
And Who Suffers ?
The people, who are the root cause,
Thinking
Themselves to be knights
Or
The people who are really the knights
And on order go and fight?
Or
The citizens who are willing or unwilling
To be involved in this human killing?
His Father Still remained Quiet
And Kept Looking Through
The Moonless night,
The Child Continued---
And Daddy,
Is it only the Human beings
Who suffers,
Are't the other beings the silent sufferers too?
Nature has to keep the Balance.
So tell me, What is a war?
What is it Meant For?
Tell me, Why do people fight?
Is it for more power and sight?
Is it an endless plight?
Is there no Light?
Then the Child was Quiet
And started looking through
The Moonless Night
And the Father slowly replied,
Dear, I can just say that
One day people will get sick of envy
And Friendship, Love and Harmony,
Will be Welcomed By them,
And then, Yes my son,
Peace Will Reign.
