Peace

Look up the sky, 
From this end to the yonder horizon; 
What do you see? 
A vast heaven; 
A limitless heaven; 
Hosting sundry birds of colours; 
Singing solace 
To the relief of the sorrowing world.

Turn round now, and look the skies; 
In the boundless skies, 
Rainbow flaunts its many colours; 
Giving beauties to the fading earth.

Birds of colours 
Respect their own melanges;
Rainbow as well 
Cherishes its many colours.  

But to appreciate the creation of God, 
Man loathes diversities of tongue and colours
In the world as big as the limitless skies;
Giving rooms only 
For hatred and malice. 

But we can all live in peace, 
If we dare to give it a try.

Seriously, the world needs our prayers and we equally need to be at peace with our neighbours. May the Lord look upon the earth and grant us peace. Thank you so much sir.
