Despair

Children are dying due to accidents,
Bomb blasts are taking precious souls at an early time,
Too many tears shed, 
Cries, mourning, weeping and lamentations,
Who are to defend those who need protection?
The world is harsh and the inhabitants are at a supremacy battle,
God, will a time of peace ad laughter come?
I yearn for love regardless of our origins,
My soul breaks since humanity is against each other.
Tell me of a better place where I can go and meditate,
A place where love and peace is universal,
A place where kindness heal those who are troubled,
For a moment, I'll hold onto that dream.
