Sonnet- The Perilsome World

What is the use of nuclear armaments?
What is the use of sophistication?
What is the use of global tournaments?
What use his of militarization?

The world today is lesser safe to live;
The threat to life and property exists;
Security- who will vouchsafe to give?
The basic human rights, the world resists.

And fanatics emerge in larger scales;
And terrorists pose threats to all nations;
And militants strike both in hills and dales;
While underworld dons have their bastions.

Rein in the peace all earthlings seem to need;
To God’s commandments, we must all pay heed.
