Irtaza and the Cruel War

By Hamid Ali

A war declared without an evidence

In a century which's advance

Bigger claims and no rank

brought a mysterious dank

Lurking attacks without grit

caused a serious risk

Someone said very earlier

power makes you critter

Innocents got reckless attacks

many passed but no takes

Distress and no sign of mitigation

brutalities and amalgamation

For a family with a star lost

who was future with a hope

Flights with courage of martyrdom

foes with ceasefire to come

No consideration of humanness

with the notion of otherness

Never to bring a crack again

behold an evidence of a strain

A lesson to set the encephalon

to be learned by the solon

No more coming to this theatre of war

moved the Edan to an Eden-far
