THE GULLIBLE COMPANIONS Oh ye Earth, Air, and Ocean! Ye gullible Companions Ye loyal Minions How proficient with great agility! You gave up your magnanimity for this onerous trade Ye subservient renegades! Oh ye Earth, In you they prospered All of them, their women, their lasses and lads You provided for their nation chow and genial habitation You were a loyal friend They apprize you end-to-end But you have failed them! You built up Trenches and created Infantries Your Kingpin lured them to armistice And they went eagerly without artifice swept along by a wave of patriotism Soon, though, their enthusiasm turned into bitterness You kept throwing them against barricades of barbed wire and barrages of Machine-gun fire Then, ardently, you created gaping holes gulping the dead ones and gobbling up many things from under the ruins Ah! Ye Air, You likewise betrayed your pals! Merrily they rode on your wings with all of their things How soon you forgot! You gave them life that cannot be bought They breathe and fared well But now, you’ve turned against them Flinging rockets, several airships, bombs and bricks and dispatching artillery fires Still, you didn’t withdrew or retire Poisonous gases you also set free and you kept swinging corpses And even ye Ocean, Why have you allied with your peers? You forsook your grandeur and relinquished your elemental task and took up this malevolent charge Tossing battleships Spewing forth submarines Hurling missiles and shells Swigging your old friends and piling them at the beach debris of their stiffs Ye three traded your scruples for this work of ruin and doom allowed yourselves to be deceived by this malicious Kingpin And at the ending what are your feats? Is it the Hopeless Casualties? The Crying Widows and the Hungry Orphans? Or the Bleak Desolate Towns? Your Supremo – War! Deviously allured you triad turned you hostile to your erstwhile pals Oh War, your Master Ally! I salute its treachery and guile and its works with unparalleled diligence only to leave the world in wistfulness Its deceit knows no bound Ah! I must admit! ...Da_Diarist
