War in Our Veins
by Madhav Mool
Ó
The Quest
The
thirst for war in our eyes
Has not subsided on its own.
War breeds war.
Yet another war is at hand.
All
these weapons
Of destruction
Will they be at rest?
Our achievement will be
To destroy ourselves
Without shedding
A drop of blood
Through chemical warfare.
We shall be swallowed
By the flames of nuclear war.
An
indescribable destruction
waits at yours and mine
Soles of feet
And tips of head.
Is there an escape?
War
has sneaked into our thoughts
And is now eating away our hearts.
(Translated by Kumar R Shrestha from the original version in Nepal Bhasa)
