Weapons

By Soumitra Kulkarni; Illustration by Shinod AP

If everyone on earth uses a gun
It would deprive us entirely
Of joys and fun

If everyone on earth uses a knife
It would make earth a planet
Full of conflict and strife

If everyone on earth uses bombs
The world would end
In graves and tombs

Weapons destroy life, and cause a lot of sorrow
The consequence of these
Can't be undone tomorrow

If you think using them means that you are brave
You make a mistake
Very very grave

If you prevent using them, whenever you can
You add many years
To your life span
