IS THERE ANY NEED FOR WAR?


The drums beat furiously 

for war

Inflammatory rhetorics from the West

Fanning embers of destruction 

to lay waste

Nations whose cities hitherto peacefully rest.

Is there any need for this war?


Like cumulonimbus

Demagogues' toxic memes - 

clouds of the West

Across skylines of the East 

thunderous war portend

Shall noble peace violence cruelly apprehend

Before waton truce agreements 

end genocidal wars?


Though citizens prospered not  

from the government 

Now their peace is lost 

as the ugly face of war torments

The true cost of armaments 

is the forgone human development 

Desolate cities mourn devastated infrastructures 

in the end.

Is there any need for this war?


As white and black colours sharply contrast 

The East bloc technological development 

the West offend

How it becomes racial phobia 

the world cannot comprehend

Must the West in principles the East contend?

Is there any need for these wars?


Where lies the hope of Africa 

and the dregs of nations?

Whose dependence on the dollar 

strangulate economies 

Yet the poor vanquished nations 

must pay for post war reparations 

As the Veto

and the international justice speak

The language of Western Nations.


Is there any need for these wars?
