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! 23 July 2016
