Hardik Sardana With your own self? AIS Pushp Vihar, XII B Wars cost, life and wealth Two armies in glistening armour But this war causes exhaustion Standing tall, face to face When day by day happiness Swords, phalanxes, spears drawn Decreases like the survivors Ablaze arrows, ready to kill Warriors have brave comrades They say warriors live a harsh life Who live and die at the side Fighting continuously to death Who do I have when I can’t explain Behind the mask Facing the enemy alone, all alone What goes on inside my head Tarushi Tiwari But clueless we remain With no kith or kin whatsoever AIS Mayur Vihar, XII G This war that rages inside me Vowed to reduce C footprint But what about me? I’m alone, all alone A force in all its fury Still adding tons of refuse What about every one of us? With no comrades to turn to The human went too fast Advantaging our ally Fighting the war of life? But only myself Using every bit on earth We still inflict the bruise Or just surviving a battle within? That nature wanted to last The war that I fight everyday Earth, water, sky dominated What about me, with armies within I fight utterly alone Exploitation at its fullest To fulfil our petty task Republic of Brain, Kingdom of Heart Sparring through all that I see Was entitlement, oh! smart A break the nature deserved And Rebels of Mind With no one else, but me. Just parched sanctuaries But knew was too much to ask Each thirsty to have things their way A sight to a terrible start Now you tell me which war is better So deciphering and decoding Warriors fight for money or power None of the two, we all say Algorithms and languages Is no more a simple task But what is this fight for? But is it really the solution We claim to be our domain The nature sent its task force When you’re actually fighting No, and that too is a war of life. G T The nature gave gentle clues To put us behind the mask. G T Illustration: Amrit Warwal, AIS PV, XI G
