Pursuit of Peace Amidst Diverse Voices

We live in a world of diverse voices With each one open to make their choices, We share one unique planet, blue and round, Yet shines of lasting peace are seldom found. From tiny sparks of some wild woeful words Sprouts seeds of spiny vines and fighting herds That fomented by some greedy wishes Turn to wars that burn and sprinkle ashes. Yet a ray of hope gleams, a fragile light, To dispel darkish shadows of the night As peace rests not outside, but within us And just waits to be ignited with trust. If with grace, we ignite this inner light, Scan the depth of ourselves, with much delight, A serene, shining stream will greet our eyes, A stream that reflects divine peace from high. Peace should not be the far dream of a few But an ideal, a gem, ever true, The passionate pursuit of every soul A goal that ever needs to remain whole. It is an end that is worth attaining As its pursuit renders life worth living In wild winters as in soft summer shine, At present as across the sands of time. A straight sense of sincere serenity Leading to dwell and grow in harmony And prosper in every respect he can Is what pursuit of peace confers to man. Peace is like a still silent sparkling lake Where folks can in liberty carve their fate, Where man, fauna and flora can flourish Where the charm of sweet tunes one can cherish. Let us all pursue peace with dignity To build a future world of harmony, That for humanity will ever gleam And hope will prevail amidst vibrant dreams.
