The Pakistani budget can't support
a clash with India, 'though there's due cause.
So Khan must remonstrate to the World Court;
Kashmiris have rights too, within their laws.
Narendra Modi's playing to his base,
who dream of repartitioning the Land
along religious lines, and lines of race;
ex-Yugoslavians would understand.
The Thirty-years war scorched a continent,
and earned both churches scorn in Gandhi's eyes.
But now, his heirs in Delhi's government
have shown themselves no better civilized.
Two nuclear-armed states, like none before
seem hell-bent on one last religious war.
