Waging a mindless war is not a thing of joy
and resorting to massacre or genocide is not a sport or pastime
Living in this world
as a human being is a real gift
of the supreme lord!
Who are you and who am I
to kill the living hopes and lovely desires
of the creator at our own best
suiting only to our whims and fancies?
Desist the idea of war
refrain from the strategies of destruction
Awake and arise
angry moments play havoc
making us just pawns in their hands
Throttle the throats of guns
Silence the sounds of arms
Throw away the toys of atoms
Be happy and allow others
to swim in streams of joy and delight
Study the peaceful history of mankind
and delve deeper into the thoughts
of mankind's progress
and strive hard all along for thier eventual and eventful prosperity
