Peace Be With You

PEACE BE WITH YOU

Let us resolve
To destroy the very thoughts
That nurture violence,
Terror and war

Only then
Can we move 
Towards peace
And, live in peace

We must fight war mongers,
Terrorists 
And all those 
Who indulge in violence

War comes at the cost 
Of huge investments
In military hardware
Peace comes for free

War and terror cannot provide 
Solutions to any problem
They are at the roots
Of most of our problems

War and terrorism grow
On the altar of violence,
Bloodshed, hatred
And alienation

Peace survives on Love,
Compassion 
Brotherhood
And, sacrifice

Let us abandon war,
Terrorism and violence
Let us pursue love,
Compassion and peace

Peace be with you!
