The World Needs Love

Have you broken tribalism? Rendering it vices paralytic Have you made fair democracy? Uniting men in diversity Is religion still a menace? That live is bent by it laws Why forbid such repentance? To love every man equal Will politics stop being a game? Where corrupt dice are thrown The thief with a high figure played Mount his mantle upon the throne Have you put your nation first? And consider your future seeds Have you sought to quench our thirst? And do away with your greed Do you practice what your preach? To show kindness to your neighbour Yet you grew strong and rich Robbing pennies from the poor Have you thought of the homeless? When it rains heavily at night Have you thought of the hopeless? Have you bore another's plight Have you thought of the orphans? Who has none to call their own Have you done everything you can? To be of help to a lonely widow Have you thought of the destruction Caused by your missiles and bombs Have you thought of healing the nation? Crating more homes and less tombs Have you ever come to realize That love is the best gift of all Only when such truth is visualized Then will our falling world stand tall
