Absolutely Humane”, a recipe for better world]
Fallen Soldiers
(Dedicated to worldwide Anti-War Day
honouring fallen soldiers and all victims of aggressions – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com )
[Isn’t everything World blamed Nazis/Fascists for has been
achieved/committed
by US/NATO
military & intelligence
since WW II,
including destruction of Serbia and Kosovo part of Greater Albania? - Kolki]
My fellow world citizens -
Fallen as soldiers or by soldiers
Your parents and friends would miss you forever!
Most Politicians would shed crocodile tears -
As they attend news briefings and fund raising
dinners!
Many editorials would use you to raise patriotic fever
-
Some would honestly write to stop the menace of wars!
You can be assured of my heartiest and helpless
prayers!
I tried very hard as a normal citizen -
Ignoring personal pleasures, family, and friends
To convey peace messages using my voice and pen -
Informing leaders, politicians, journalists,
ambassadors of UN
Feeling urgency to save you all from sudden cruel end;
But they mostly fell in deaf ears or bought
humiliation without much gain!
Politicians were not by your side when you were dying
in pain!
Media analysts were preaching virtues of strategic
gains!
But my mind was always with you like a concerned
family or friend!
Couldn’t enjoy life wondering why military is not
humane!
Rest assured I will keep on dreaming to bring you that
day
When soldiers won’t fight just exchange flowers bouquet!
