PEACE AMID WAR
Amid the chorus of guns and bullets
And the thunder of heavy bombardments
A nightingale calls for daybreak
Its song of war keeping me awake.
Amid the whistle of pistols
And the whine of missiles
A child breaks into a smile
Reminding the world to be happy.
Amid the scenes of rotting corpses
And the ruins of decayed lands
A flower lovingly blooms
Revealing the beauty of nature's resilience.
This is the peace amid war
A truth we foolishly ignore
Instead, we chase after hollow ambitions
Even at the cost of cherished traditions.
