Ukraine Crisis - A Lost Marvel Of Life - World Must Help Ukraine! Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

Words have lost their murmur
hearts are filled with pain
eyes cannot see more their sufferings
today the world weeps looking at their helpless plight;

war is not inevitable
war is decided and executed by a hostile mind;
and as one keeps attacking, the other keeps defending
whether he is strong or not, he does his patriotic duty;

and as war continues, enmity and callousness accelerates,
making understanding and empathy to wither away;
children and innocent people keep facing the brunt
and as refugees they keep rushing to other countries;

empty streets, wrecked and damaged buildings
isolated apartments bombed with fire and fury;
is war worth its jeopardy
is war worth the calamity?

So, revert to greatness of kindness
revert to magnitude of tolerance;
give back to people their serene existence
give back to people their survival and calmness;

And though countries keep fighting each other audaciously,
who cares to see what is the suffering of children
who cares about the deprivation of care of the old and the sick
who knows the discomfort and and trauma of the families?

Have mercy on the people of Ukraine
this universe belongs to them also just as it belongs to you;
and just as much as humanity is universal
show humanity and compassion to them.

Stop the war please as no victory is righteous
where many lose lives and their homes
where many fall prey to bombs and bullets
where many in pathetic condition have to flee every day.

And as many face injuries hospitals find so difficult to treat,
as bullets and shrapnel keep piercing the human body
making it so hard to reach and save the wounded,
somewhere some one is getting shot and dying;

how can humanity be so cruel
when all are children of this world
and this world is our only home
where for a short time we live;

so, have mercy on Ukraine
and spare the people of atrocities and unkindness
as the marvel of life keeps vanishing
when war keeps pushing its wheels
with more tragedies and sufferings.
