Thank you, I can only agree: no legitimation to ending a single life, war is and remains murder and colourful ideological decoration does not change it. Great to realign all hopes towards peace not justification of cruelty.
War cannot be justified in the wildest of imaginations
I had posted "Thank You" notes to the posts of Bharati, Dilipji, Belle Wassermeister, Chinedu Dike, Richard Wlodarski and Dr Azim Nehal here. But all of them have disappeared. Could you please help me reinstate them..
Well articuated and nicely brought forth with deep insight. Facts do not cease to exist because they're being ignored...
I feel gratified, dear poet, that you have been able to capture the essence of the poem. Thank You.
Very well said, We all should condemn war but how about war of words instead?
Yes! Dr Nehal. It is my opinion about the futility of war that I have expressed. If anyone has a different take, I am ready for a ‘war of words' it that suits him/her😊
'Nothing but Nothing is fair in war.'---I agree with you.But when there is an aggressor who comes stomping to occupy your territory, this war for self defense is very much justified.A wonderful poem that expresses concern over futility of war.
You are true, about the aggressor, Bharati. One need to defend the people, the common man, against aggression. And I am fully aware that there are occasions when war becomes imperative to protect/defend their will.
Thank You, Bharati for the detailed notes on the poem.
The poet is absolutely right in expressing the undeniable truth! What the poet has expressed at the end goes beyond any shadow of doubt so far as humanity is concerned. A highly expressive poem. Top score!
It gives me always immense pleasure to read your in-depth and considered observations on my poems. Thank you Dilipji. Much obliged.
Thank You, Ms Wassermeister, for your time and for the observations on the poem. Obliged, dear poet.
Great wisdom from a compassionate heart. Outstanding poem, Poet Menon.
I am much obliged to you, Richard for the good words on my poem as well as on my person. Fell great, when it comes from you.
Thank You, Dear Poet for reading the poem and marking your observations. Much obliged.
Words of wisdom, well communicated in this powerful verse, describing the evils and fruitlessness of war.
Thank You Evelyn for sharing your appreciation of the poem.

Innocent young men and women are deployed at the war front in the name of patriotism. Indian philosophy exhorts one to follow the maxim "Vasudhaiva Kudumbakam" meaning "the entire world is our family".
