PEACE
An antidote to war
Healing war wounds to the core
Though not the absence of dispute
Just starving one's egoistic repute

War shamefully walks into exile
When Peace turns him fugitive like Cain
And peace becomes the erstwhile
Where all sorts of bane and bigotry reign

Whenever Peace goes to bed
War would paint people in red
Better is Peace at his worst
Than War at his very best

At times
Peace is birthed by war
When by preserving paradigms
Oppressors bargain not to a draw

Many innocent would buy and say bye
Those once beaten are twice shy
War is better avoided than won
For the end is guaranteed by none
