Peace

A small word but with great meaning
Essential for the survival of human being

Everybody is in search of peace
Which is not within easy reach

Man has too many ambitions
Causing his own destructions

War here, war there
War is widespread every where

We are victims of social unrest
Absence of peace in every nest

With the innumerable massacres in Palestine
When will the light shine?

Immersed  in the game of balance of power
Powerful nations are fortifying their towers

Even if peace treaties tend to increase
Peace organisations  have no power to make war cease

It seems to be  just a cry in the desert
Bombarding is becoming a daily concert

In a world devoid of tranquility
Is there any future for humanity?
