Guns Are Viagra (Sonnet 1262) | Abhijit Naskar | Yaralardan Yangın Doğar
“Those who think a nation is as strong as its military, belong in a mental hospital, not in government.”
“Guns Are Viagra (Sonnet 1262)
Indifference does more damage than inhumanity,
For animals can’t be expected to be human.
Humans are human when they are accountable,
Passive spectators are worse than inhuman.
Silence of the peacelovers is more damaging
than violence of the warmongers.
Till the very thought of guns makes you sick,
you are only playing make believe peacekeepers.
Guns are just viagra for the impotent,
Bullets are but crutches for centipedes.
When there’s no substance in mind and spine,
Monkeys tend to cower behind semiautomatics.
More backward a country,
more its fascination with guns and bombs.
That’s why you cannot imagine a hero,
without a gun in their hands.
Real heroes don’t carry guns,
Real heroes don’t wear capes.
Wearing a smile, carrying a spine,
Real heroes work to rescue peace,
from the clutches of states.”
