PEACE- Subhranil Sarkar

If I were a man,

Then I could have got

For me a magnificent plan-

Yes! Why not?

I would have been the most perfect one,

So that the noble ones would rot

For I am a ruler, who ruled hearts

Yes! Why not?

If I were mortal,

Then I could have fought

For my glory, to spread it round the world-

Yes! Why not?

You would have thought,

I'm the most self-centred man ever created;

Too bigotted, too ambitious

To understand feelings ''precious",

But 'fore I speak further,

Did you ever remember

Who were you?

You say, "How dare you insult me

Without having any clue?"

Now I say, it is indeed true

I swear I do "insulted" you!

'Tis your greed, your ambition

Your putrefying notion

Of being the cream of the cake.

Being the sweetest and the coolest

You forget on what you rest

Your body, your desire

Won't remain with you,

Nothing but only I

For eternity, for ever!

So what bothers me if I am shrewd?

For my name is Peace, I need no clue!
