Oh Peace, Where Do I Find You

Oh peace, where do I find you I search you everywhere in my country but I could not find you Oh peace, our countrymen love to have you in their hearts but now your presence is not there to have a peaceful life. Oh peace where do you go and where can I find you I see our mothers tears in my country more than rain has poured I see our nation's charming beauty is lost and its taken away from many acts of hate I see our people wandering like broken arms to recover their lost freedoms I see our people beautiful brotherly smiles lost where anger knows no boundaries I see our people often plant a seed of peace to grow smoothly but often its burn like a wild fire to the ash by our leaders We are yet to free from political terrorism and thugs in our own country and they have trapped us behind shelter of broken promises and blatant lies Always, life seems to be enjoyed with another man's hearts pain Oh peace, what have we done to you for you to keep us away within reach If our country is peaceful, it will blossom like a flower There is nothing more precious than peace in this world But peace without justice will not make any nation peaceful because injustice is the enemy of peace So, let us find peace where ever it is there within our reach in our minds and hearts Ravi Sathasivam / Sri Lanka Copyright @Feb/2010 Ravi Sathasivam
