Human rights in pursuit for peace

In trembling streets where silent voices plead,
We build our law on dignity — not fear.
Each soul, each breath, a claim to equal need,
Justice whispers soft for all to hear.

When rights stand firm against the tyrant’s reign,
We sow the seeds of trust in broken lands.
No longer bound by chains of grief and pain,
Peacemakers walk with open, healing hands.

In courts and councils, truth begins to bloom,
Where accountability finds its place.
Through shared respect, we clear away the gloom,
And give tomorrow’s dream a human face.

For lasting peace is more than quiet nights —
It lives in rights, in hope, in shared refrain.
When each life matters, wrongs we dare to right,
We forge a world where love prevails again.

Yes. So true. We need a ton of accountability right now for years of lies and corruption by government

Beautifully composed sharing the hopes of a new world of peace, love and justice. But will it remain a rosy dream. Sadly the conditions prevailing in the world now, do not give us much scope for positive thinking.
