The sizzling sound of an intercepted missile,
The appearance of smoke in the clear blue sky,
I hear and see this!
But within this sight,
a face appeared with teary eyes
wailing to stop this,
weeping to bring a halt,
agonizingly uttering, you know in this all, I lost my father and my mom lost her dear husband,
she lost her unborn child while working in the field to support my father,
my father was not a soldier but forced to fight,
pushed to serve his motherland for the gains of the pawns you set on the table,
to complete your puzzle, you chose many lives from both ends,
See how our home has been scattered into pieces which we can’t ever collect,
those moving scary stars of torture in the darkened skies would haunt us every night till our last…
their choking smell would suffocate our throats
For you, it is a power show and for us it is endless labour and anguish!
A few toasts you would host to claim the victory over lands on the map,
but for our burials, one deep dug with so many bodies filled in blood and loathing!
Stop the war!
You, the one who claims to be the peacemakers!
Poignant!
I read somewhere ‘ you can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake’
Such a foolish act of mankind.
Very well written Rahila!
Dear Rahila, that’s a very beatiful piece of writing. l’d like to complete your wonderful article in this way.
The marginalized are always the first to be appressed.
We have witnessed this theory önce again.
Disasters are natural the the War…
There is a lot to say…
They wage War for their own interests, kıllıng people, it is an artificial disaster created by merciless, brainless people devoid of compassion, who have driven Mothers, Fathers, and Children from their Jones and countries, and who are harming the beatiful World that God has given us. l hope that God will soon show happy days to our entire beatiful World and our people, especially yo the future generation, our Children.
STOP WAR!
Only if we have to heart to feel it and mind to reflect! How right you are Rojjo!
But true.
Beautifully expressed !
