I Want a Country

I want a country Let the sky be blue, the bough green, the cornfield yellow Let it be a land of birds and flowers I want a country Let there be no pain in the head, no yearning in the heart Let there be an end to brothers' quarrels I want a country Let there be no rich and poor, no you and me On winter days let everyone have hose and home I want a country Let living be like loving from the heart If there must be complaint, let it be of death Cahit Sitki Taranci translated by Bernard Lewis (This is Quoted from a Turkish Website) When i, first, read this poem i somehow got emotional..felt like sharing the pains of all people who is yearning for a peaceful country that their children could play with their friends in peace, their families feel secure..."Peace at home, peace in the world" if you're agree, please stop by and comment. thanks in advance
