Am no fortune teller
Am no fortune teller or palmist
Neither a historian nor economist
Ordinary thinker and activist
Optimistic and not a pessimist
Do you think peace should be given a chance?
Hatred and violence should stop at once?
No Blood shed instead friendship and cooperation
Beginning of new chapter with warm relation
Who prefers turmoil and oozing volcano?
Burning settlements as if towering inferno
Have we no courage to say emphatic “no”
All the barriers and obstacles to “go”
Why our heart is not filled with sympathy?
Do we want our brethrens to live with apathy?
Do we not want bright sun shine for their kids?
Do we have no clue or positive leads?
I wish to shun the violence but shut the eyes
Ignore the facts and try to find excuses and why’s?
Where does it lead for our common approach?
I wish it to happen in large scale as such
I know it is not realistic
It may also look cosmetic
Still it is worth try and good sign
Hoe world may realize and resign
Guns may stop and Church’s bell may strike
Prayers and hymns may be heard on mike
Not for safety warning but for mass gathering
Burial for hatred and for storm withering
How time it may take for killing thousands?
Single missile gun shell will do it in seconds
Spill of blood all over but no one to take care
Where is place for us to run and take shelter?
Guns and ammunitions to be found inn plenty
Demolition of temporal houses by violating sanctity
Where will go to offer prayers and feel the curse?
Do we have anything left to nurture the wounds and nurse?
We have only one home to seek refuge?
No one may block your entry or refuse?
It is not fact that we are blind and selfish
But God only knows what force is pushing us to perish?
