Their Wars We Fight for Them

Their Wars We Fight for Them

Their wars we always fight,

their battles our battles,

their concerns we carry on

our minds, and

their problems upon our

shoulders they lay.

By means of lies and sweet

talks,

they create war for the poor

to fight for them,

blind patriotism they promote,

emotionally toned nationalist

rhyme,

they sell to the care-free

citizens to hoodwink them into

their pathways of evil.

Once their mind is set on

a prized item,

they devise means to

get it;

subtly-our minds-

their propaganda media

machine begin to attack.

Selling ideas that will soon

become a fetus,

which will make us think and

behave like them;

ideas that will make us commit 

our souls to their war,

home or overseas without

extracting Promissory Note

from them.

As soon as war is won,

trophy we brought home and

booty is shared,

they forget our hard labor,

exertion, travail, drudgery,

in battle front;

toil in harsh and inclement

weather and terrains.

When we ask questions,

grudgingly, they give peanuts;

when we raise objection,

they remind us of our oath and

duties to the constitution.

In hangar they will stay,

waiting for another

opportunity to dull our senses,

sedating us with an opium-

political and economic issues of

the day,

mesmerizing or hypnotizing

our soul with magic wand of

political witchcraft to make us

commit our souls to their cause

again.

Just like before we shall cave in,

because their commands,

they had made our laws,

their wishes they made

ideology long time ago.

Same ideology-they teach us at-

schools as intellectual light,

ideology-they whitewashed-

as religious dogmas and tenets,

which we have accepted

without questions from

their priestly, ecclesiastical

and spiritually adulterous

friends.

Ideology-they keep refining-

by means of entertainment

we seek at the theaters,

online, home videos, promoted

by the world of manywoods.

Do we need a break from

war we do not cause?

Of course, yes,

we need a break

from war we do not share in

its plunder and loot;

we need a break from what

older men cause,

youth fight and die for.

We are tired of wars-

innocent souls are wasted for

the rich to get richer,

we are tired of post traumatic

stress disorder,

the only gift war gives

when battle is over.

We are tired of losing

irreplaceable body parts,

we are tired of seeing young

widows and fatherless children

on streets and in neighborhoods;

we are tired of wasted time at

battle fronts.

We are tired of homesickness,

anytime in overseas fighting wars,

we are tired of wars

in the air, at seas, and

on lands,

we are tired of wars in north,

south, west and east,

tired of menacing roar of

nuclear holocaust.

We are tired of

fanatical nationalism

modern warfare has caused

mankind,

we tired of religious extremism

modern warfare has placed on

our pathways;

we tired of xenophobic feelings

modern warfare has caused

humanity.

If we fail to end war today,

war will someday end us;

should war mongers still

prefer war to peace;

This is Our Resolution:

Let Them Fight

Their Wars.
