ON WAR AND VIOLENCE

The power- lust that propels the wheels of the war can never take it to the goal, nor could it wring veneration at any time. The history mankind is bristled with the ignoble deaths of f he powermad blood-thrity war-mongers, serving as a severe warning to 'like-instincts' than example. Indeed, the glory of war is anything but 'Zero'.

Robert Southy in his little narrative poem traces out ironically the out-come of bloody wars fought and perpetrated by blood-hounds. Through the sweet conversation of the sweetest blossoms of mankind-the tiny tots, he proclaims to the whole world in resounding tones, the futility of wars. The innocent enquiry of the children leading up to the monumental conclusions, teaches invaluable lessons to mankind. Obviously, the divine wisdom enshrined in their pure, noble hearts leaps up surprisingly to petrify the sin-laden, materialistic minds. The listeners gape with wonder and admiration at the pronouncement of such a truth of truths applicable to the entire humanity, and for all times. It is worthy of elucidation. Hence the case for narration.
