Peace

Have you ever wondered about what does it mean to be all peaceful Does it involve being indifferent Does it involve being selfish Does it require you to close your eyes to everything that does be not fair See, life does be all cruel even if it does seem to be so beautiful Life does be made of diseases and all sorts of ailment More, life does be made of evil beings, having as aim, to see you perish So, how to be peaceful here, when all sorts of negativity abounds everywhere Sages and wise men do say so many things on that matter That live and let live does be the best motto That life does not last forever That we shall be judged someday, if not today, well, tomorrow So, we should learn to be peaceful and blissful It does make of the world a place so delightful But how to be such, when those who surround you do be filled with venom As if making war and causing harm to others does be their national anthem Why, if you do choose to give them your other cheek to slap You would be categorized as one with a mishap If you do choose to turn your back and walk away without saying a word You would be categorized as being a coward So, how to promote peace when the world is filled with venomous beings All wanting something or the other, all desiring something that you do possess All caring not to be always, by the Gods of morality, all blessed But all hoping to bring you down, to take your possessions as such would make of them, kings Why, I do have the answer for such, yes indeed I do See you, you should remember that the skies are not blue That whatever you do see, whatever you do have, does belong not to you That life has answers for so many things but it has not yet explained why it did come through Faith, belief, trust in the holiness It is all that is needed to be rid of war's mess See you, even your body does belong not to you You shall leave it here while you shall go in search of that which is true Remember to do good always Someday, some other power, on you, shall have their says Then, you shall be rewarded or punished But then, it shall be too late to mend your ways Peace does not be so hard to attain Peace should be our life's ruling word, the one main Peace in ourselves, peace with due regard to others Peace extending beyond our limits and reaching to the other borders! Inculcated it can be, through education Without it, life would just be a battleground, made of division Why, peace, celebrate it Of course, make of it a worldly treat!
