A Weapon in A War Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by k, Nepal Mar 6, 2003
  Poetry

  

By Gopal Parajuli

At this moment
When those who sacrifice their nation
At the alter of individual rights
Are found wavering
The prestige of Scholars
Lies at stake
I permit the fighters at this juncture
To have a close look upon the world
There's no notification to people
On security now
If no news is good news
For a moment
I would rather review
The weapons amassed at war front
When the corrupts grab the land
When the thieves target me
Let there be no light in the sky
Te scene is of pain
The pain stinging me
Bursts in memory
Instigating a revenge
Even if God empowered me
With a thousand hands
I won't take a weapon
Even in one hand
Nor would drop the pen in the hand
In my youth my response was
My fist
Right now my response is
My poetry
For all time
My poetry is an offering
Right now
When the warrior shows up
In my poetry
That's my greatest happiness
