Red Ashes Of Terror Comments

War destroys and kills! Thanks for sharing.

I like the use of vignettes to carry your message. The politicians who enable war never see the individual faces they create with the savagery of war but the common man does. I don 't know what would happen if we all spoke out vigorously against war, would our political leaders hear us? And would it matter if one side or another refuses to stop killing as a way to get their way? But it is good for the soul to hear poets like you to speak powerfully out against it

Rotten red ashes of humanity drowned in the wind...marvelous. A very significant piece of work from a brave, out-spoken poet. Violence n inhumanity are the worst things to plague this world. A poignant write on the most important issue of the modern world. How terrorism can affect lives of innocent people is brought out with great depth n insight.

Terror is the worst problem of time, Souren Mondal, giving various names has honestly described it. Terror has no religion, no nationality and it believes in no ethics.

Yes, but somebody believes that he gets his profit from war. It's nothing but business for him. Silly thing, but there are those who sell and buy consequences of wars. It's a very doubtful profit, but they believe in it more than in God. Or it's their god.

The ugly face of war and terror all around by those innocent children's faces that take shape in mind. The poem stirs, it disturbs but all the more it is a reason to have resolve to face this death and destruction with out loosing hope. Learn the resilience for life from those depicted in poem facing hardship.Excellent piece! I am trying to read all the poet of the book. So glad to come across yours. Wishing you the best.

Mondal’s poem paints a dark portrait of the many victims of terrorism and war from around the world that have suffered from the inability of humans to solve problems without violence. His style of writing ‘throws’ the reader in the midst of these victims’ daily lives to bring a ‘face’ to those who have lost limbs, family members, their minds, and their homes due to terrorism and violence. His lines, ‘/ What a piece of work is war? / A bunch of lunatics kill innocents / and another bunch of lunatics kill more innocents / to avenge the death of innocents /’, again sums up the absurdity of war and terrorism. His symbolism and the final words ‘rotten red ashes of humanity’ highlight the destruction and death that the world is left with in the aftermath of terrorism. His poem makes us take pause, feel unsettles, and think about the violence, death, suffering, and loss that results from terrorism and war.

This is so truthful and powerful. But it's double-edged. I look at as an artist and think, THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO AVOID. THE CARNAGE, THE DESTRUCTION, THE SENSELESS SPIRAL OF REVENGE. But a committed fighter sees it and thinks: CARNAGE, DESTRUCTION, REVENGE - OH, FINALLY SUCCESS FOR OUR JUST CAUSE! It's a stunning poem that will haunt me until I can dispel the impact by playing Mozart's Clarinet Concerto. I will carry the poem within and learn what it has to teach me and then let go of it.

Bloodshed and horror.... mass killing, starving and wounded survivors.......! ! Images of debilitating life is all what we see after a war! Innocents are being killed time after time! That primitive urge to hunt the weak is still in man! He never learns anything from history! Hamlet's bleak view of life..... we too are likely to share, seeing the atrocities around! In the line.... 'What a piece of work is war' is resonated Hamlet's famous soliloquy.... 'what a piece of work is man...... yet to me what is this quintessence of dust'! GREAT write! A 10

Hope, suffering, death all are mixed up in war-the eternal confrontation for power. Common people eternally hate the activity. Good representation.10

What a piece of work is war A bunch of lunatics kills innocents And another bunch of lunatics kill more innocents To avenge the death of innocents- - - - War causes only in the loss of innocent lives.It is an act of insanity that should stop.As we progress more in science, our war becomes more terrible and more destructive.The very survival of this beautiful earth is at stake.So all the sane people of this civilized should work towards building peace and avoid war at any cost.

Really! It’s terrible! Each year we lose lots of people in war, some fighting some saving! We lose lots of money defending war, that we could have use for some better purpose Yet we used it all for a waste! You penned the pain of war wonderfully! ! Thanks for sharing

Heartfelt.........A true sketch and outcome of mindless war............Situation going from Bad to worst and human showing their thirst for one another's blood.....Who cares what is left behind, who care what they suffer, They are doing it for the cause only they better know...Thought provoking poem Souren, Thanks for sharing.

{Blown up} This is the reality of the world we inhabit. Stupidity followed by stupidity. Revenge in place of solution and the insane hope that an invisible magic entity will solve it all. Thanks, Souren.
