The blue sky is scythed by hateful spatter of blood <br />The air wafts with poisonous vapour <br />Only laments echo all around <br />And death-cry of the night <br /> <br />Blood spills out of hatred, paints the villages red <br />Homes burning, the homeless in wait for homes <br />Death is another name for life <br />Fear descends, the sky is spattered in red <br /> <br />Another leaf falls, sound of another death <br />Fear congeals in blood, fear is the name of life <br />Fearful faces in ghostly smiles <br />They do not know what is stored in their fate. <br /> <br />With tearful eyes a kid stares indifferently <br />She is orphan of the blood let loose <br />She silently invokes how hate orphaned her <br />Under the red sky, she waits, waits for a turn <br /> <br />Why blood seeks blood, why are they human? <br />Her innocence questions, her orphan tears drip down <br />Is peace only a dream, does peace die this way? <br />Her simplicity hateful blood never knew <br /> <br />No more blood, no more massacres <br />Somewhere love begins to speak <br />Let us all hear messages of love <br />Love sweeps each heart, peace reigns.<br /><br />Bireswar Halder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/testament-of-love/
