♨ War No More, We Want Peace ❤
— Zahidul Jamy

From ancient times, the threads of strife,
Battles for lineage and land, defining life,
Pharaohs in Egypt, their grandeur displayed,
Alexander’s empire, its power unafraid.

Napoleon’s dreams, vast and wide,
On fields of war, ambitions collide,
British shadows stretched afar,
Under conquest and glory, they set the bar.

Genghis Khan’s tempest, fierce and raw,
Tamerlane’s path, a ruthless law,
Roman and Russian emperors’ might,
British imperial shadows in the night.

World Wars burned with a fiery breath,
Life’s last tune, a dance with death,
The earth in flames, a fierce blaze,
Innocent tears, a mournful haze.

China, Russia, America’s power plays,
Kingdoms clash in tumultuous ways,
Israel and Palestine, endless fight,
China and India, shadows of the night.

America on Bangladesh soil,
Chaos and strife from power’s toil,
China and America’s global fray,
Innocent suffering, a sorrowful way.

These rulers stir wars, immersed in greed,
Selling destruction, a ruthless need,
The world turns into a desolate place,
We want peace, a harmonious space.
