Oct 2013
A wise man walked inside
But nobody caught his sight.
His unusual physique;
Contrary to his perception,
Erupted prejudice from the crowd
Neither would they litsent to his lofty ideas.
"Eye for an eye will only blind us"
"Why don't we make a peaceful pact?..."
"So as to end all this..."
Heavy shouts of COWARD!! COWARD!!
Were heard from the fools
And his advice forgotten as stool.

Years later, old men sat
The young men were all gone-
Dead in battle.
The entire community in a sombre mood.
