Scrutiny

a poem by Jayati

Violence begets violence
Vicious circles
Unending litter, strewn on streets-
No more killings. It’s useless
to play back ignorance.
Hurt past stories bring bitter memories;
Ruin; present existence.
Should the world recall
Imperialists?
Slavery injustice?
Sure that would create
A make alive miseries.
So my friend, look ahead
Touch one another courageous.
Inspire peace ideal, practical scrutinise.
Study well consequences learning to sympathise.
