Message For Peace
Boom ....boom....boom
Guns roar, bombs blast, causing
Death, deformity and destruction
Leading to distress and doom
Streets reek with the smell of newly shed blood
Dead bodies pile, all around is carnage
Dark clouds hang on the horizon
Under one name or the other, violence is concocted
Frivolous ideologies kill lives of innocents
With the world turned into a battlefield,
We are besieged by terror's sting.
We need an escape from this inferno
Pure harmony is what the world longs
Let no cannons roar, let no rebellion shriek
Let no wounded soldier fall down and die
Let no woman become a widow, no child- an orphan
Let no drop of blood spill on the cobalt streets
Paint the canvas in colors of love and kindness
Strive to build a land of peace
Peace is an energy field much more potent than a battlefield
Is peace merely the absence of war?
No, it is a tranquil feeling in the breast
The absence of fear, an all encompassing aura of safety
The annihilation of prejudices and a tight knot of oneness
It is being in peace with oneself and others!
Combined efforts alone can subdue
The formidable enemy of hatred and rebellion
United shall we stay to get all wrongs right
And muster strength to catch the bull by its horns
To let the doves of peace take on wings!
Hope this calming dream and lovely fancy
Of mine shall no more remain a wild fantasy
