I know not much
I am no Methuselah as such
But I do know whatever war touches
Does with chaos marches
II
Like monsters of the night, hurtful words hold no soothing balm
In their flight to the land of any mind
Like terrorists on their site, bullets have no hearts, hands or eyes
To root out revenge before landing on their targets
Like savages in hunger, swords have no allergies when feeding on human bodies
As obedient children in diligent works, arrows obey the hands which need their errand
Bombs know not their gods but work in their moments like tsunamis
Believe their chore for an enemy
Will surely conceive naught but perfection
Know that moulded feuds lose their reasons with time
But feed fat on innocent lives
Lives whose souls begrudge without a cause
How long do hearts travel in beating
To force minds into scheming hatred,
Roasting plans of traps and
Cooking death formulas?
III
We are cotton strands in transient travels
Through the path of earth
We are stars who taste the palms of the sky
Once in a nightly travel
We are fireflies hopping on the arms of days into oblivion
We are but future memories
Waiting to be washed by dilutions
We are that which needs no complicated weavings
In apparels of mortality
We are minds which need to swim in seas of love
Until the mythical hands do hunt our breaths
