Violence

May 14, 2015 03:51 pm | Updated May 23, 2016 07:32 pm IST

Why are the mobs of the city,

Getting angry without pity?

Do they need to get serious,

For matters that are nothing?

Why is violence needed here?

Why does peace give tears?

Calmness is the tune,

To settle a strong dispute.

When was violence born?

When was peace gone?

Real mother Earth will be born,

The minute, violence is gone.

N. Kaavia, VII, Kamakoti Vidyalaya, Tiruchi
