As we enter the month of October, we welcome Fall and share with you some poetry for the soul. These two poems will surely string up some emotions in your heart. So without any further ado, let’s dive into them.
WARS GO ON by Tanmay Dhiman
Right from the times when men were bare,
Hunt for food and always yare
When fire first turned things to ashes,
There still were wars, there still were clashes
Triumphant stood Rome, as earlier did Mesopotamia,
The Indus Valley and its mystery’s mania
Rome fell, so did Babylon,
The enigma behind the falling walls of Indus still unknown
But there were wars, and they were all torn
Soon came the times when men again were savage,
When Vlad would kill and bodies, lavage
And he would plate them to their kin, gavage
There were wars, there was ravage
White man fought the Black man, Red scalped the fair man,
Saving their lives they have all ran
Civilisation was started uncivilly,
Adoption of “mainstream”, killing the nature’s plangency
There were wars, perhaps meant to be
Back to the times when men were bare,
They still had honour and dare, that now is very rare
Today we fight for articles and foolish causes, that need no care,
Today the lives are lost because we ware
There are wars, there will be, let us fare
Soon will come the times when we will be extinct,
Not because of nature’s wrath but loss of humanity, our instinct
There still will be wars, and they will be inked,
By a race very much distinct
Which would have risen out of wars, hoodwink.
And for the second and final poetry piece, we have a reader submitted work.
