The price of war – Delhi Poetry Slam

The price of war

By Jyoti Prakash Mohanty

Under the rubble lay strewn 
Flesh..Blood..Bones
In a shape unrecognisable 
From their original existence 
Of Men..Women..Children, 
(Some unborn, ripped apart 
from their mother’s womb)
Far away from the chaos 
of an inconsiderate world.
 
The price of war,
No matter who started it
Nor who vowed to end,
Is paid by the ones
Who had far less to do 
with the either.
