The world of war.

The world of war.

A Poem by Avinash Nagaraj
"

Its about war, everything has its good and bad sides...so does war ;)

"

 

'Tis true what they sadly say,
Though they fight come what may,
The defeated live in pain
or die for a cause in vain.

But only warfare leads to peace,
clean of all stains on justice,
for the peace before often wayward,
invokes war pushing people upward.

see the side of a coin u don't bother ,
and don’t keep gazing at the other.
for the goodness of war hidden in,
makes its boasted effects win.

Will you, when your destiny calls,
the time when your kingdom falls,
let your beloved brethren die? 
and hence their children cry??

“War is the mother of everything.”
– Heraclitus, Greek philosopher (535-475BC)

''But only warfare leads to peace,
clean of all stains on justice,
for the peace before often wayward,
invokes war pushing people upward''

A poem that courageously points out the facts.

It is a praise of heroism in a growing mind that may be encountering much in the way of challenges. This is normal in a growing boy. What will be curious is, how you guide yourself through the rest of your young years.
