War and Peace

War has been brought right in your living room
Thanks to the satellites and dishes that mushroom
Now while you sip beer you can see a town burning
The thrills and the chills...with a pickled onion ring
Thousands homeless, helpless you can see from close range
Half-clad kids crying...while your sweat shirt you change
There is a sudden burst and the screen is all yellow
Many have been killed...your phone rings...you say hullo
Then the camera catches a ground to ground missile
You inch a bit closer...and no one survives for a mile
While the war games are on...you dig into your dinner
The meat is very tender...some burn and many simmer...
It’s a live transmission of a very deadly show
While you yawn and stretch out, how many dead we don’t know !!!

i feel it is an attempt to fill every body with guilt who is not undergoing those sufferrings. their sufferings are not my doing - they are their doing - when i watch i dont enjoy the site - i am moved - but they are far enough not to disturb my peace. Furthr in the world of seven billion human beings and other creatures - every second thpousand are hunting and being hunted - should i die with them? At the most i pick a lesson for myself and pledge not to repeat their mistakes - that is what is the purpose of all the mediums of communication - yet when my turn comes to be hunted - will too bear my share of pain. till then pray for them, learn from their mistakes and return to face the challanges of life.
