A war clouds
It is not the question of wordy duel
It is raging fire added with fuel
How a person can turn cruel?
Why can’t they have peace mutual?
This can’t go to their head
They want marching army ahead
They want to show overall lead
They want the message to be clearly read
It has remained age old dream and wish
They wanted hegemony and others to finish
Aim is only arms trade to flourish
they have only death faces to kiss
World have faced many holocaust
Natural and man made outbursts
Skirmishes on boundary lines
Celebration with champagnes and wines
Enough blood is to be bled but for whom?
War clouds may overcast and zoom
The war will be declared soon
The dark shed may appear on moon
Is it not the blot on humanity?
We want to continue the hostility
Do he wars have some special quality?
Destruction and deaths unnecessary and in futility
Is it not the devils dream with evil design?
How can we entertain and meekly resign/
There is still no sign of remorse
The war is thrust by tremendous force
War can change entire scene
The scattered bodies all over seen
Who are all very eager and keen?
Many countries actively involved and deliberately in
Hail their feat with loud applause
Die with hunger but passions don’t rouse?
Tolerate the injustice and hang on for destruction
Only deaths may await you as pure instruction
There is no joy or gladness
It will increase only sadness
Millions may die of hunger and starvation
World may watch silently with observation
They may thrive on lucrative business
It is pure consideration and madness
Few countries may benefit and others suffer
Let us join the threads and not differ
It may spill blood and result in quarrels
There will be exchange gun fire from barrels
It won’t be fight between loyalists and rebels
It may find name in holy war as label
Why can’t we profess bullet for ballet?
Love and peace without any hatred
Let durable peace prevail with peace mission ahead
We as citizens come forward and lead
There is no realization and escape route
As we have failed to eradiate cause or root
It may engulf entire area in turmoil
There will be subjugation and occupation
Besides death, economy may cause hardship
The war mongers may claim real championship
The diplomacy may take over and initiatives may be thrust
All in good faith with broad smile and trust

An olive branch
Can that happen ever?
Wars are averted forever
Olive branch in one hand with message of peace
For millions of people to live at ease
Many may doubt and see it as impossible
The wars are imposed and forcible
Slight provocation can engulf entire world
No country can afford to keep the relation in cold
Has world ever witnessed winning of war without fight?
Who would judge our action and emphatically say right?
Can peace be taken as last hope to see the light?
The peace should not be lost out of sight
Yes, mere gesture or process with olive branch is imprcaticable
The impossible result is achieved through and histroy can be tracable
World with the piles of atmoic weapons can’t dare to fight
Only peace with olive branch can lead us and make it alright
There may be threat behind olive branch diplomacy
Still it has increased the peace efforts with frequency
The world doesn’t want misery in the form of another war
We have missed opportunity but still are not very far
With deterrence on one hand and olive branch on another
The blame may be passed on to others
There may still be hidden efforts to defuse
No one may want wart but refuse
Olive branch strategy is right means of persuation
The war is ruled out and is out of question
There may be complete annihilation and destruction
It can succeed with powerful message and instruction

It is the strongest will power that must emerge
The war at no cost must raise head and surge
It is duty of all peace loving people
Weather strong, weak patient or able
The peace has to be given fair trial
No one can dare to offer any denial
It is need of the hour and necessacity
We can prove it with our ability
The world is at the brink of war
The dark clouds appear and are not very far
Evey moment the peace is threatened
The stand of enemy is always hardened
We got to carve out the peace strategy
It can be in form of peace mission with energy
The world leaders too are striving very hard
We must strengthen their hand and look forward

There Is Hope For The Future
The bombs have caused death and destruction and the families mourn their dead
But there is hope for the future for better days ahead
When those for peace and World harmony will finally prevail
For those who talk of waging war are surely doomed to fail.
There is hope for the future though I may not live to see my dream
Of a better life for everyone in a World where peace will reign supreme
A World free of borders and camps for refugees
Where the smell of death and destruction is not blowing in the breeze
There is hope for the future around me not all dark
I hear young children playing in the playground in the park
The children are the future and they may well unite
Behind a peaceful leader who won't lead by power of might.
There is hope for the future and all surely not lost
Though there won't be peace tomorrow and 'twill come at a great cost
The Rose of Peace will bloom again though with the dead I lay
And the young and enlightened leaders to peace will lead the way.

Good will
How dear is mother and motherland?
Is it simple flash piece or piece of land?
One gives birth and another gives means to live
Both are precious and holy if one takes on to believe
No one on this earth may tolerate any insult?
The sentiments are interwoven and carefully built
Millions may die for the holy cause and honor
The land has turned red many times in color
It is called supreme sacrifice if offered for defense
How many people might have laid down their lives to halt offense?
History is witness that offenders have fled away to save lives
Constant efforts have been made and all are keen or to thrive
The wanton killings and bloodshed is averted
The danger is for time being halted or diverted
The clouds do hover over the sky for causing destruction
At any moment world can be at war with little mischief or instructions
We have witness many changes in recent days
Mighty dictators have fled the land and paved the way
Yet there is human rights violations and suppression
Citizens are killed in their own land under oppression
Democratic countries too are not exception
They have cornered national wealth from the inception
There is no final check over them and have free hand
The people suffer under oppression in their own land
If it is foreign power then it is question of occupation
The dispute can not be confined to local in relation
It has dangerous consequences to engulf all and follow
The indefinite subjugation is not the solution and be allowed
We have seen ruthless purging
There has been no impact on appeal or urging
The blood is constantly shed leading to loss of lives
The situation has not improved and has made nose dive
The liberty and freedom movement has become farce
It has become ridiculous with the command of opportunist forces
We hear no talk on peace initiatives or cessation of hostile move
The danger still looms large with reign of terror and fear yet to be removed
We saw mass slaughters and ethnic cleansing with mass exodus
Many countries faced starvation with the increase of unmanageable influx
We could over come with the great plight and stopped complete annihilation
Yet the world is not assured of full liberty and equal participation
Let us pray almighty for to prevailing common sense and good will
At least there is full stop for border skirmished and unnecessary killings
Oppressors are given no chance to rule and shown the wall
Enough has been flown in red blood and now time is to recall

Without any gain
Last peace mission has ended in failure
All hopes are belled and nothing is sure
God only knows when siren will be on
Destruction will be everywhere without any gain
There will be colossal damage to the property
It may not alleviate suffering but increase the poverty
Everybody may run for any possible shelter
At last moment some good sense may prevail and situation may alter
Everybody is fully aware of the consequences
Two world wars are recent tragic instances
How much loss to human lives and cities?
No one had imagined before start of hostilities
It is easy to create war hysteria
The war zone increases its inertia
Nothing is spared like mosques, temples or churches
These are places of worships which only preaches
There may be many surprises in the store
People may take it to high tone in war
“Finish or get finished” may be clear slogan
Arms and ammunition may be rushed in wagons
Prayers for lasting peace and good sense
It may be death nail in country’s coffins
How many may lay down their lives?
Even though there is desire and peaceful drives
First firing shot is received with all its power
Sirens are aired from all buildings including towers
Complete black out with strict adherence to rules
All eyes are on moves which can bring to peace tables
Some countries may try honestly to end the impasse
Some may add fuel to fire with no let up or pause
New weapons of mass introduction may find live field trials
Thousands may perish with vehement no and denials
Young and old alike may face the annihilations
The peace may be derailed and strain the relations
There will be war hysteria with increase in hatred
Nobody may be able to meet eyes and agreed to be lead
Few nations may try to act as honest brokers
Rest may watch it intensely and act behind as pokers
Peace may be imposed and hostilities stopped
Nothing much may be achieved as against hoped
New race for superiority may increase
Chances for peace may recede or decrease
New restrictions on human passage across the border
All benefits may be passed on to smugglers and hoarders
Illegal trade may thrive and economy may shrink
Country may be pushed back by many years and sink
Whole burden may pass on to already poor and downtrodden
May take years of hard work and pain to cope up even

We Do Nothing
We do nothing, want or don’t want to
This is bitter and unforgettable truth
What we are today were not yesterday!
Those were the moments of golden days
Not much of plight or days of starvation
Very good, peaceful and cordial relation
Yes heart felt sad happening all around
Bitterness was to be seen somewhere and found
Who can predict about future?
I think no one on our part for sure
We have to resolve it genuinely first
Then think about other things to solve at last
I have cried with my brethrens
Always shared their views and concerns
Cried along with them for deaths to mourn
Balied hopes, shattered faith and bodies torn
Storms daily come and destroy the houses
Patience dry out and passions rouse
We have borne the agony but bore no grudges
Trend is yet not clear as they won’t budge
We have reached moon and now embark on mars
But at home and abroad hungry are the masses
Enough of blood has flown on the earth
Many more casualties to count with innumerable deaths
We know nothing about future of the children
Countries land has turned dry and barren
What will we do with coming up of new houses?
When we have nothing on head but restricted passes
Amen! We all need peace
Stable life and living at ease
Give peace a chance and earn breather
Lot more concerns to share and responsibility to solder
Oh lord, now it is enough and no more of such kind
Let us strive hard, come to the conclusion and reasonably find
For betterment of man kind and slight chance for livelihood
Live and lead as an example for humanity in the neighborhood
Let us share agony, pain but avoid brutality
That must be shunned and banned in totality
Let us not shed the blood for occupation of land
Turn age old rivalry into best possible way and befriend
Future generation may not pardon us for our folly
Why was it imposed upon and not considered silly?
Was it considered most important and wanted really?
The answer remains “no” as it was never understood truly
Many factors played part behind the scene
Such holocaust and plight was never seen!
The wounds are still licking with bad memories
Adding more woes and not lessening the worries
Survive the attempt that is pointed at disasters
We are the main people and own masters
Nothing must be done to vitiate it further
Let us live like one as sisters and brothers

A real chance
Can peace be not given a real chance?
What would happen if it tried at once?
No one is supposed to be bad at inner core
Only requires remote possibility to be explored?
Every heart beats for durable peace
Each and every individual wants to lead at ease
Who will want disturbed environment to lead?
The message is definitely understood and read
What forces us to be at logger heads and uneasy situation?
Why certain trouble spots be allowed to exist with its continuation?
Simple cosmetic surgery or casual care may not cure the ill
It certainly requires grater skill and strong will
We can understand the greed or lust for the land
We too can understand the long rivalry from friends
How can we afford it to continue for so many years?
We eagerly await the silence of guns in our ears
No matter how long we have remained as an enemy?
Not important how much treachery is committed by many?
It is still a long awaited peace trial for our survival
The sun will definitely shine more on its arrival
Some individuals may want it to worsen and add fuel
So many may come forward to play the role which is dual
Still it is not disheartening to hear some sincere efforts
Gradually it may be on wane with close and good rapports
It is not easy to spread the fire to neighborhood
It may engulf our own if not properly understood
Who will come forward and extinguish when faced with bitterness?
It is high time to wake up and show keenness and willingness
We have seen and witnessed the human tragedy in recent years
It is unbelievable and stories are refused to be heard by ears
How much colossal loss and disappearance of human lives in seconds?
No life, not even blade of grass and evaporation of water from ponds
Who is going to benefit from all this and at what cost?
When will it be realized by powerful or affected most?
Not that simple but not difficult also to be carried out
It is the only chance to be explored to avert the rout
Will we prefer to be called butchers or enemy of peace?
Will it not force us to rethink at the development of little tease?
I feel I am sworn enemy of hostility and futile wars
Not even sky will remain unaffected including stars

Elegance of Peace
Worn torn cities—inner city violence
Death, sorrow and misery
Feelings of discontent
Conceptualize with malcontent—
Atom bombs, nuclear holocaust
Peacemakers of the world
Man-made instrumentation of peace—
So where is the diplomacy in that?
Does it really exist—Hell No!
We speak of peace
With total annihilation
Maybe, because peace/violence
Are mirror twins of each other
Like good and evil—there is no existence without the other—
So is this the elegance of peace— that we speak of?
The peace that we envision for our children
Our ancestors created this fallacy of peace—
This ignorance of peace—created out of fear
The fear that has been nurture
Through centuries of embattlement
For the elegance of peace
The true embodiment of peace
Should not give way to mass-destruction—
Reconstruction of the mind
For the elegance of peace
Is harvested within our minds
Not within our technology—or weapons of destruction—
For Peace has been raped
Violated and reduced
To the ignorance of global insanity
This is our Elegance of Peace
OR IS IT?

Kicks in return
Mighty rule here and weakest suffer,
Kicks in return when ordinary gifts offer,
Why no system which acts as buffer,
Is there no right to say right and differ?
This question always made me puzzle.
Rain did not offer peace even when dazzle,
It continued to hunt and troubled always,
I sit motionless and try to find new says,
Why I am not that powerful as sun?
Why I always think of using the gun?
Is there no peaceful alternate?
Where all are equal and no subordinate,
Rulers have gone influential have taken over,
Scene remain same but clouds still hover,
No kicks in return but distrustful eyes,
No gestures but unwelcome scene and byes,
Why still remain history and disparity?
Is there any sense or high morality?
Why do we face question of seniority?
This is question faced by most of majority
World will not change even after destruction,
Face the dishonour even after precise instruction,
Matter remains same even stiffer than question,
Even you forget and bury deep in bastion,
It may still for many more centuries,
Distance may reduce even between countries,
Many changes may come with new entries,
Rules may change but not the sentries

Fresh Fruits of the Spirit - Peace
Peace
Because we have sought the Lord our God, yearning for Him with all our desire, He has given us rest and peace on every side.
And even when we lie down to sleep, You alone, O Lord, will keep us safe.
2 Chronicles 14: 7; Psalm 4: 8, paraphrased
“When people are saying, all is well and secure, and there is peace and safety, then in a moment unforeseen destruction (ruin and death) will come upon them as suddenly as labor pains come upon a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape, for there will be no escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5: 3, AMP
Dear Lord,
These texts are at opposing ends of the spectrum.
Do we need a reality check?
You promise peace, but there is no peace in this world today…
far cry from it.
Yes, we hear peace phrases spoken by both preachers and politicians,
but according to the last text, there is no peace.
So if there is no peace, how do we get this fruit?
My Child,
The only peace you will ever have is in Me.
This world does not offer peace – though it promises you many things.
Some things are good, but most lead your mind far away
from Truth, and from Me.
Please lean on me. You will never be too heavy for Me to hold.
I have much to teach you; to share with you so you will
be strengthened for troublesome times ahead. Yes, many will cry “peace and safety” from now until I return,
but don’t be misled.
I, alone, Am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
And it is in these three that you will find the
fruit of perfect peace.
“You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast,
because he trusts in you.”
Isaiah 26: 3, NIV

Love and friendship
If red rose is for love and friendship
White one is for peace and very seems very deep
Its message is very clear with anguish
A signal for surrender and sign of finish
It is better to call off war and avoid blood shed
The wars are never successfully led
Both the sides suffer in terms of man and material
No one can proudly claim or offer denial
Modern warfare is the bloodiest
It can never be termed as useful or best
Did you ever visit hospitals or war zones?
If not then you are safe with all bones
Bodies are scattered all over for vultures
No one can claim it as good culture
It can never guarantee stable future
We are pushed to deep darkness for ever
Let us pray for no more such occurrences
It should never occur even by remote chance
We may replace material loss with some pain
But human losses are never to be regained
Even single death is shame on humanity
We have been sent here as peace messenger by almighty
We have no right to claim any land or divide
Time may favor sometimes but not always the tide
We have seen many civilizations lost in process
We have few remnants and have some access
We can assume glorious past of such existence
What is use if we have lost our past because of ignorance?
Avoid using pretext to wage such unholy things
It has nothing to do with man kind or something
Peace must prevail either by friendship or good neighborhood
Then only it will be known as correct meaning and having understood

A reckless killings
When will terrorists stop gunning people?
When will they roam freely and been able?
To resume day to day work with peace
Why do we feel insecure and miss?
Lot many questions in mind for an easy answer
No one comes forward with solutions for fewer
Who do you think will benefit out of this?
Do they really mean to be loyal to death kiss?
Can they not force their will by other means and avoid?
How will this unruly scene go for indefinite period?
Can they be brought under control by use of force?
We have no information or lead to any other source
Blood was spilled all over on ground
Bodies were scattered and in mutilation condition found
Fresh waves of violence are gaining round
Hatred, distrust reign with system seems to be sound
Who are these people doing all inhuman acts?
Why not all come to sense and react?
Is it the only way left out to combat terrorism?
Are we not to be blamed for all kinds of “ism”?
Every time senseless killings takes place
Still no system or alternatives is there to replace
Mutual distrust and hatred prevails
Love and kindness no where in sight and always fails
We need to have passion and feeling for brotherhood
Calm should prevail in vicinity and also in neighborhood
Why do we add fuel to fire and wood?
When there is shortage of everything and have no food?
Somebody may loose son, husband or father
We can’t allow it to go any further
What is happening somewhere else should not make us bother?
Let us build new relation where love should only matter
Why humanity should suffer on this count?
When all sorts of tension and worries mount?
Let us place ourselves to the mercy and will of Almighty
Who will guide us to destiny and feel some pity
They have no religion as such
They have shed enough and much
Now time has come to counter
No more demands accede to or cater
It may be long way before we route them out
Scores of people might have lost and feared about
No bright sun may appear in their tenure
What can they think of bright or near future?
We aren’t here to create havoc and things to destroy
Never resort to unruly scene and make others annoy
It is humanity that goes on run in an orderly convoy
Let us build and search new ways to adopt and employ

A peace for trial
What a love depicting scene?
never witnessed and seen
it is dying need of an hour
when can we smell a flavor?
When will we live as one?
when that thought will be borne?
when our children will be free from all tension?
Peace and love should find only mention
I long and wait for happy moments
when peace march to halt can be glorious movement?
all races and humans to act together
provide peace a chance and breather
No where we heard a war cry?
Remorse at heart and feel very shy
Always puzzling trend and asking, why?
We did all crimes against humanity without fair try
The repentance is a key to happiness
No realization until we face
What a pity for an ugly and mad race?
We shall never go for it in any case
It is wise to think of common platform
No ill feeling or distrust and well informed
That is the clear heart feeling and wish
All the golden opportunities not to miss
The peace chance can never come again
That must be the cause and our worry main
We shall try and strive for durable peace
So rest of the world can live at ease
Nothing will evaporate in single day
We must find solution and way
Hatred and dissension is not the solution
Peace and harmony should be the resolution
Who will come and preach us the lesson?
Where will find its very good mention?
Who will approach to ease the tension?
The Messiah may not descend to maintain the liaison
We have to act as emissary and prophet
No opportunity must pass out or to be let
It may be heavenly sent chance
It may illuminate with hope at once
Nothing goes into flames without a fire
We need not ignite but only admire
Not adding a fuel but act as extinguisher
We need to print the peace message as publisher
Everybody is needed in noble effort
Ship with olive Branch message may land at port
What else is needed except will or support?
Give it fair chance with initiative and efforts
Not all may go in or want the destruction
They too wait for chance or instruction
That may not come at all for their endeavor
It will fail them in their desire forever
I am no visionary
Certain things are not there in dictionary
We got to interpret rightly and act
This is need of an hour and fact

What is Peace? ?
What is peace? ?
Peace is when you care for others,
Peace is when there is no violence in the world,
Peace is much more powerful then evil,
Peace is easily found when you give others what you desire,
Peace is the answer to all the wars in the world,
Peace is when there is unity among all the people,
Peace is when your soul can rest,
Peace is when there is hope of good above,
Peace is when there is love for others,
Peace is when there is acceptance in the world,
Peace is bringing joy to the world,
Peace is in helping others
This is what Peace is,
This and much more!

Jen's Wall
Love appears and with disappearance of hatred
Life begins and there is joy and happiness to lead
With her at complete command of new scene
She is at her best and usually not seen
She is in mediation
In search of new relation
To find secrets of eternal peace
Life further to be spent at ease
She has it in the vicinity
Yet unable to define serenity
She has deep sense and quality
Purest form of love and ability
May find the light
With much to offer and fight
That may take her to the tunnel
With flash of light to see and tell
Wells are dried up with no trace
No love and feelings on the face
People have turned cruel and senseless
A dream to realize with madness to chase
You are hope for self and family
That is good sign as whole really
You can cherish and live with aim
From here you can assert and claim
Draw the lines and define properly
The life may seem then very much orderly
You are the one to take correct decision
Life is with you to be lead with precision
Jen has impregnable wall
Not possible to breach or create hole
She is towering strength for times to come
Love at heart and ready to welcome
She has entire and exclusive smile
Life is still with charm to go for a while
It has accommodated family and friends as well
There is more to reveal and tell

Over Decades
No one has counted dead over decades
Yet it is compulsion to resume the trade
'It is life line and must' diplomats argue
'Peace is above all with trust' we too feel it is due
How long a shell will come and hit?
To the soldiers on border and greet
Take away life for humanity to curse
What else to do when it is needed for peace?
Many more may die in future
No one is certain about it or very much sure
Borders are silent but under illusory calm
One more spark and may cause greater harm
I shall weep for centuries along with new generations
Good sense may prevail and new era may start for good relation
Not a single soul must be lost and bodies be left as unaccounted
Great amount of efforts may be pure thrust and to be amounted
I am tired of this blood shed on my surface
How can I bless all when grief is seen on the face?
Forget about calm borders but situation within
At such alarming stages that it can hardly be called as freedom's win
Soldiers die on border, farmers' suicide on local front
Whose theory we believe, digest or simply confront?
Why poor suffer for the want of two square meals?
What are we all enjoying on the name of freedom deal?
My surface may remain red crimson with blood
Sometimes I may witness deaths due to flood
When will I have little respite from my lovely children?
Can any one say including sons of soil, saints or politicians even?

Green Peace
I have heard great Emperor Ashoka vowed not fight
His inner conscious rebelled and forced him to act right
He sent her daughter to far countries with message of peace
To propagate the message of love and shun the violence
'I take refuge/shelter to his kingdom'
The slogans are chanted to ask for freedom
Freedom for coming out of social evils
Save the precious lives and vow not to kill
Green is sacred color and represents peace
You may remain mighty and powerful but may prefer life at ease
To live within sacred norms and hurt no one
Harmony and co existence for all and not for one
We live artificial life today
Crush the green forests and find the way
Rob the animals from their natural habitat
Push them to death for satisfying royal habits
Many have done it in past and does need its repetition
There is neck cut rivalry and arms competition
Humanity may suffer if not halted mad race
We need to offer peace in any case
No religion preaches hated and disobedience
Love is the only way and last chance
How many times you may annihilate the human race?
It may still survive on the earth's surface
We are going against his wish
There is nothing like fight to finish
Let us make it green for all the times to come
Any peace initiative or efforts must be welcome
What world may look if greenery is developed within?
What big parks and forests will do in lovely chain?
Of course, peace may prevail and environment too
Hearts may change and peace may come true

Not Known Outside
Not known to outside what is called hunger
It is not natural phenomena or coming out of anger
It is felt when fire is inflaming inside
When frustration is growing wide
You get no sleep when hungry
You look towards sky and feel sorry
Your hands are empty to feed
You are unable to meet the need
Hunger can burn whole of empire
They have only outrage and burning fire
No one can kill their spirit
As no hope is seen or lit
Many may be starving to death
So many may be enjoying with wealth
They need only two pieces of meals
We can’t have for them a nice deal
Let there be no hunger as proclaimed
No nature alone to be blamed
We have done injustice to nature
We have blackened our future
There is no answer to humanity
But yes it is poor thinking and bad quality
We can feed their mouth and see smile
That is what we can do for a while
We can for a while alienate
But we can’t afford to eliminate
Humanity as such can’t relate such things
It needs great care and more of something
Mere food grains may do little
They need to think positive and settle
How nature and forests are basic features!
This may become permanent and we may not have any cure
Sun may be blazing in noon
You may realize the devastation very soon
Nothing can shelter us from future gloom
No temporary steps can be considered in room
Soon it may turn into reality
We may loose out control and ability
Many more starvation deaths and deforestation
Not good place to live in then without sanitation
Let us groom with whole world
People are sympathetic and not turning cold
They want every human soul to live with peace
At least two time meals at ease
