This World's Cure
The world has come to a stage
Where it can no more hold man's rage
Why, so much of wars and killings
So much for a land to which we do not belong
A land which is meant to be lived as if it were a dream
A land on which we should see each other as being same
A land, meant for the fallen
A land, though, meant to allow us to rise again
But sad it is, to see that the life which thrives on it is sick
So much that it does not hesitate to put itself at stake
See how easily does hate grow, how easily it does expand
As if it were the cure for tomorrow, as if it would make the world grand!
Pray, I would like to see peace on Earth
My yearning to see it is aflame with a fiery passion, same as that found in you
I would like to roam about, feeling always so safe
I would like to share the smile I hide and which, for the whole world, I brew
But to bring peace seems to be a task so herculean
This world has degraded to being seen as an evil one
Here, one is meant to be cautious
For one could die in ways so unpredictable
Tolerance and acceptance does be needed
Such in the future generations need to be fed
Irrespective of the ravages of wars which did happen in the past
A past, which does and shall never, ever last!
Forgiveness needs to be there in everyone's heart
Else Earth will have to cling on to its doomed fate
Why, forgiveness and the feeling of un-attachment
Un-attachment for a world meant to be for us, evil's bait!
More wars would simply bring about massive death tolls
Shall remain then, smiling stupidly faced with their loneliness
Those who were filled with so much distress
As to want to selfishly make of this haven, a place so foul
But pray, maybe to achieve all that, we would need the help of the Fairy
The one mentioned in all fairy tales
The one made of goodness, the one with a pure heart, the one so pretty
The one who would cry to see the world's many ails
To bring change to the world, yes, we should find her
She shall bring a change to Man's destructive temper
And shall reign on Earth, humans, peaceful, once more
Shall even then open to the people of Earth, paradise's real door!
