War and Peace

SK Iyer

"The war is on",
The saviour of mankind declared,
"To bring in peace!

"The war is on",
Yet another declared,
"To bring in peace!"

Killed many and sent to heavens
to mingle with
stars of martyrdom!
Fortunate are the departed,
Recipients of real peace!

"We've brought in peace!",
saviours of mankind declared,
"Those are great souls,
who sacrificed their lives,
may their noble souls
rest in peace!"

The living cried for the dead,
groaned for relief the wounded,
and the saviours rested,
whilst in peace
the departed rested!
