Libels Of A War Comments

A great poem, libels of a war nicely painted.

The common man is the worst sufferer and the children are the most common ones. The govt machinery does its bit and the right thinking people voice their concerns with no substantial results. Borders are porous, weapons are provided by sponsors (a lone man with a stolen AK 47 cannot go very far) with barbaric designs in the name of misplaced notions of religion or regional hegemony. An attack on school children does not bring glory to anyone. Thanks for sharing some common global concerns.

Eh, you go from an Afghan urchin, for whom a crumb of bread is dearest, to the intricacies of international weaponry that kills and kills. Gruesome our world is. Thanks for this brilliant portrayal.

Wars have always been tragic and their effects are long lasting. It was my country that brought war to Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. It was my country that left unknown amounts of weaponry (and a power vacuum) behind. It is my country that arms rebels (on both sides!) It is my country that arms terrorist states such as Saudi Arabia. But my country does nothing to help the victims of its atrocities and war crimes. Please know that is my government and not the will of the majority of my country's citizens.

This is very thought provoking that imagery talks about such a bare footed boy who collects empty packets and bottles in streets. War in life and country gives pain and diverse picture. So sad such incidence is. This tears the heart. Very amazingly you have presented this stunning poem....10
