War

a poem by Anup Chandran V

The fire of hell, packed in shells,
a march, a knell on humanity tells,
claims of righteousness, just as well,
pride in blood and guts to dwell.
The torn face of love, ‘Ravaged’ berate,
bugles to sound on memorials ornate,
a scar washed in tears exasperate,
of the mother, who lost her sons to hate.
