[bodytext] => The spheres of inferno hang around the Earth, Fire in the hearts, flames in the minds, Fury are the thoughts, horror resides in the souls. Future is wrapped in the sheets of grimness Shadows of actual joy fled away from the Earth Soldiers march in bewilderment without knowing Least the cause of killing and being killed, The politicians’ idiosyncrasy has them hypnotized, The sons, daughters and sweet partners are horrid, And uncertain whether they will return Or mingle and mix their blood, their flesh, their bones Into dust of the craters, trenches of the battleground Among the scattered carcasses covering all the field. Lo! Explosions raise the storms of dust, Bullets make ineffectual leaps to perforate the sky, Holocaust begin to descend, All around the prostitute of Death knocks Raising the powdered Earth and smoke of explosives Scanting the noses, burning the eyes, Cannons shells explode deafening the ears. The guns that with the fiery mouths Are gushing forth fire will become silent soon, The amphitheatre of carcasses will extend beyond the sight. Ah! They will not return home but their ghosts To console sons, daughters and partners of life, Tomorrow politicians will chatter in the dinning hall, The first phase to win the election is accomplished.
