Desire
I have seen peace;i have seen pain
Much of sighing and troubled lives
Dying,crying and full of strifes
How i wish peace reigns
To give comfort in pain
Ihave seen faith;I have seen fear
See tommorrow hanging on ladder of fate
cruelty and hate on every face
I have seen wealth;i have seen wretch
people desolate and destitutes of daily bread
Who lingers on to take their final breath
How i wish peace reigns
To give comfort from tears and pain
I have seen love;i have seen lust
mostly for riches,wordly pomp and power
Not for others but selfish shower
No more friend,not one to trust
What i desire most
Peace,unity and love,not lust
To make the world a better place
Where everyone finds a solace
