A World of My Dreams

As I tread outside smiling The joy of freedom seems to have gone missing The feeling of equality and security Overtaken by the sights of torture and misery Trust and faith lay shattered Families divided, growing hatred Scarcity of food, education in shambles Is this the gift for the next generation? Why is there no war against poverty Why no war against illiteracy Why no one to fight the war against hunger And why no one to fight War on AIDS, the biggest danger As the bullets fly and bombs explode The howls of crying babies go loud The scare and pain of getting orphaned In their mind, always embedded Few faces of evil and cruelty Seems to be creating havoc for the majority Why are they using their ability To fight this WAR ON HUMANITY In a flash, walking, I feel so lonely Tears flowing on feeling their hunger and poverty Hoping for a home and education for all I pray for universal peace and health for all I feel, not for me, but for us all here I pray for a world where cruelty to humans, no one hears But, I ask, “Can my prayers ever come true”? YES !! Only if with me I also have ALL OF YOU
