1.
Truth can be laid with a pen
But fools require a machine gun;
People can be changed with words
But fools require swords;
Hearts can be won with alms
But cowards require arms.
2.
When kind is tone
No need to stone;
Their minds are narrow
Hence fools require an arrow;
When truth is my brand
Why do I hold a steel brand?
3.
When we all belong to the human bracket,
’Tis foolish to make a missile rocket;
When mankind is a single caste
But fools propose a nuclear holocaust;
When life is from womb to tomb
But fools boast of the atom bomb.
4.
When hearts are open
Why required is a weapon?
When mercy has no bars
Why required are wars?
5.
When merciful tears are shed
Why required is bloodshed?
When mind is in control
Why required is arms-control?
When mind is won
All becomes only One.

Dear Pet Rock, what threat you or your ancestors facing??

Hello Devi,
Hari Om!
This reaction is for those who nurture ego mind. But we renounce the fruits of our actions to avoid the reactions of our actions. This is the only way as far as I think.
Dear Devi, Hari Om!
Thank you.
Thanks for the photos! They express many more thoughts than the poems combined. Hari Om!
