Sometime back, I tried my hands on writing a poem here. Now as a matter of fact, I am not much musical person. I am more of a Technical person by profession with a writer's mindset, and especially of Action/Suspense and related genres.
Yet recently I tried writing a poem- it was a bit dark and morbid. I do not know how good is it from an expert's point of view.
Yet I am not to give up and here is my second attempt:
Titled : Its The Peace that they all want
"As I wake up on a fine sunny morning.
As I switch on my TV News, and my mesmerizing Internet forums.
A Big Power in The East Lands has its Tanks and Missiles ready to roar.
Soldiers with big boots in the west jumping cliffs and shooting dummies.
The Sharking Men roar.
The wolf in sheep smile.
The killers of masses loking for nukes.
Will the Mushroom of Nukes raise its head again.
Or our concrete jungles razed to charred insects
and not to rise again for ages.
Yet do all want war?
Do all want Orange and Red skies and mutilated bodies around?
No that is not what it is all,
no that is not all our destiny.
For that forlorn man inside Tank ponders.
The repairman of the Grey and Black Fighter Craft wonders.
And the old colonel in deep thought by his Royal Stag!
That when will all see flowers blossoming?
When will the gunpowder factories turn to factories of Bread and Honey.
When will all the kids get books and not guns with Thousands of Bullets.
Its the peace that they want.
The admiral, or the Airman, or the nightwatchman across the landminded border.
The Pope's aide, that silent Nun.
The elderly professor.
The Young Techie girl!
Yes its the peace that they all want.
The tranquil lawns and the clean blue skies is their dream.
The peace is that they want.
Its the peace that they all want!"

@AKRao24 yes sure.
By the way any aspect of the poem above where you think I could have done something better- some opinion?
