The common or ordinary man does not understand their tricks and starts hating his fellow human beings. They tell them to cause riots. The poet says that one should not follow anybody’s advice without brooding over it. The poet repeatedly says that there is no difference between them and foreigners. The people of the entire world are the same

The leaders of any country tell the masses to hate the people of another country. They say so
to fulfil their personal gains and benefits. The poet says that we should not follow them
because when we hate our brothers, we hate and belittle ourselves. When we indulge in wars,
we pollute and render the mother Earth impure by laying dead bodies on it.

Usually, we are told to hate people belonging to other countries at the time of war. Political leaders and powerful people work for their personal profits, ask people also to do so. They use people for their own benefits. However, we should not become puppet in their hands and do as they say. Rather we should use our own brain and do what is right. We should understand that war is futile. We should not become judgemental but should analyse the situation before jumping to conclusions. The poet asks us to remember that by hating other people, we are spreading hatred, betrayal and chaos amongst ourselves. When we stand against each other, we harm each other, our mother earth and the environment.
