War For The Sake Of War! Poem by Ramesh T A

Some nations are waging war for the sake of war just as
Art for the sake of art without any purpose and reason;
If the warrior is asked why he is in war, he will say
That's my duty to safeguard our race and religion sure!

If the artist asked that question, he will say that it's
My work, fun and pastime or something like that ever...;
Purpose or no purpose, the reason must be satisfying one;
Otherwise, it is waste of time, money and energy only sure!

We learn a language to read and write and use it in work
And life to do all better in a civilized way in the world;
We go for education to acquire knowledge to use it in work
In order to survive better than uneducated people sure...!

Art and literature are for the sake of life, not for waste;
War has to be waged for peace and never for the sake of war!
