Call by a Ukrainian citizen…
Call by a Ukrainian citizen…
What wrongs we have done,
As you replied with your gun,
Does this satisfy your ego?
Or still, you have miles to go.
You bombarded my fields
And destroyed its yields.
You can destroy all serenity,
But not my dignity.
We are same in ethnicity,
Still, you didn’t like our liberty,
Sometime back, we were brothers
So Live and let's live together.
Ultimately you may win,
By killing all my kin,
Then on whom will you reign,
After every one of us, you have slain.
by Manoj Dagar.
(Dedicated to my Ukrainian brothers and sisters in distress)
About this poem
When I write this, a bloody war is going on in Ukraine destroying life and livelihood of millions. Is war really necessary...is a perpetual question.
