Well, this was my very first poem. Entered a poetry competition back in junior college just for the heck of it. The topic was "Peace". This was my entry. Never thought i would even get a consolation. Imagine my surprise when i was adjudged First!!!!
Anyway, here goes:
WAR AND PEACE
All is fair in love and war
Oft I heard that said
But what is fair in war
To think of that, I dread
Children crying, innocents dying
Widows weeping, mothers sobbing
Poor little souls-all mourning
Politicians laughing, commoners suffering
War – ‘tis nothing but a mean game
Which ought to put the politicians to shame
Bloodshed – ‘tis but a waste of blood
Which results in an overflow of tears - a flood
I wish one day would come a bird
A white dove, full of love
And show the way to every man
That murder is not all that he can
