After The War

You've caused teenagers to become Colonels

And have induced amateurs to become Generals

Women and girls have been abused and violated

Owing to your terrible sting

Like an earthquake, you've sank the wealth of

Nations into the depth of your wide and jagged jaws

You have terribly ravaged

The whole world by your rough and cold torch

And in the subtle form of Jihads and Crusades

You instigated religions to attack people in gruesome ways

Oh War

Your end is near

From African to America, Asia to Australia and Europe

A time will come:

When nations will seek reunion, peace and love

When arms and ammunitions would be openly destroyed

And battlefields will cease to exist

When all nuclear weapons would be dismantled

And all lethal weapons would be destroyed

When all refugees will once again return

To their homeland with jubilation and celebration

When prisoners of war will become free

When all men will treat their fellows with love

When all races, colors and creed would pursue peace

When lives would no longer be wasted and properties

Would no longer succumb to the terrible powers of bombs

When wildlife and natural endowment

Would no long be endangered

When the peace would no longer be

A Utopian dream but a complete reality

When the world would no longer

Be a battleground but play ground

When fighting and mutilation would become history

When mass homelessness would cease

And violence would never be again.

A time will surely come

when the world be a better place

And all will confidently say,
