War Comments

O prince, ' said the weaver, 'the decree is just. It is right that one of my eyes be taken. And yet, alas! both are necessary to me in order that I may see the two sides of the cloth that I weave. But I have a neighbour, a cobbler, who has also two eyes, and in his trade both eyes are not necessary.' great 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

the poem tells us about foolish people in the world. they are given high posts but dont deserve them. people who deserve something should be given it. That would be JUSTICE

.....and they say all is fair in War...honestly war is never fair...there's always someone taking something which doesn't belong to them ★

Well, at least Solomon didn't really cut the babe in two. Indeed, in the hands of the foolish, justice is blind.

Justice is sometimes blind. A heartrending tale. A true just ruler is a blessing in disguise to any kingdom. Truth presented very boldly. the poet has expressed it so beautifully well.

Very disturbing, yet all too often similar things happen.

This is what happens when justice is blind and power is corrupt.

I think the word feat in the first line should be changed to fete.

Just like our Supreme Court which is not always supreme in its judgement. An example is its suggestion to The Delhi Metro to reserve an elite compartment for those who are well off and can afford to pay more.

War is not the answer to peace! It destroys everything. Thanks for sharing.

Like all other stories of Khalil Gibran, this one, too, gives us something to think upon. The question is as to who will challenge the injustice done by an all powerful judge?

I likes the great story in this poem written by the great poet.

Best example of unjust justice delivered by immature mind. A beautifully conceived poem to show the injustices committed during war on innocents.

Wars utter madness is so beautifully conveyed in this poem.
