Is innocence a crime?
Are infants criminals?
If not, why they are
being bombarded,
gunned down,
or mined?
What crimes the warring
nations find in them
and reduced them to pulp?
At a time the war between two nations
is being categorized in the list of crimes
is there any justifications behind
taking a plunge and indulge in wars?
How come they
dare to fight it out
and squeeze the very honeyed essence of existence
numbering about millions of
citizens across the world
majority of them kids
who do not
know the meaning of life
who do not know
how to dream about their future, ambitions, imaginations
and even fantasies.
I am at a loss to know whether
the rulers of the
warring nations don’t
have innocent kids
who too perish in the blood-bath?
Is innocence a crime?
Are infants criminals?
And what for
they are not allowed
to grow under the care, love
affection of their parents?
