A Bloodless War Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

A Bloodless War

Rating: 5.0


We are living in war times
You can't see the blood though
The air is thick with it.
We are right, we are better
We stand for all that is good
We are in no mood to listen
Tolerance is the last thing in our mind.
People say there's so little war
There's so little bloodshed.
The war now is of terrifying silence
More ominous, more destroying
Cutting through love, endurance
Eliminating relationship, humanity-
Perpetrating a bloodless coup
Where blood is not seen, agonies aren't heard!

We are amidst war each against the other,
Silent, bloodless but more macabre!

You are right dear poet. Now there are more space and paths for negative charges. I should think, what i should do! Hmm. I think, first, i should win a battle, in a battlefield inside me.
