War and peace Poems
To All In The So-Called Defence Industry
by Adrian Mitchell
Arms trade workers, here's an early warning

From dealing in death and desolation
Don't hang around now you've been told
The international murder trade's about to fold

O Earth, that hast no voice, confide to me a voice,
O harvest of my lands—O boundless Summer growths!
O lavish brown parturient earth—O infinite, teeming womb.
A song to narrate thee.

هذا هو دربي - Poem b

من عيني فلتشهر فوهة مدفع
ولتشحذ يا جرح الشعب السكين
على عنق الجزار
ولتطلق أعين شعبي النار
هذا هو دربي.. هذا هو دربي

A Paradise Turns Hell - 02
by Subhas Chandra Chakra
The hell on Earth
is never natural
but an artificial,
manmade disaster.
People loved to
hate eachother.
To see differences
instead of similies
become a fashion,
