Hope keeps us alive by Paulin Zihindula Muchiza
If there were love in the world, we would see everyone smiling, brothers loving their brothers sincerely.
Look at everything happening in this world, the acts of violence tearing it apart.
If love reigned over the whole earth, our children would lay down their warrior weapons and return to school.
Look at all those who have fled their countries to seek refuge elsewhere, and those orphans deprived of their parents. The food crises shaking the world.
Nevertheless, you and I know that one day, we will meet again in a wonderful paradise. Far from all this suffering and misfortune. There, you and I will reside in joy, absolute happiness, justice, peace, and love. What a magnificent hope to cling to! ???
