War on happiness
Cries of humanity
Cries of war
War that kills
War imposed upon kids
Kids as pure as a Mother’s love
Kids with million dreams
Dreams that are shattered
Dreams destroyed by weapons
Weapons unleashed on living beings
Weapons that spare not even trees
Trees that make the air clean
Trees look pleasing to the eyes
Eyes which are blinded
Eyes that can’t see the plight
Plight that is very alarming
Plight of Earth’s humans
Humans were meant to be kind
Humans should've cultivated love
Love that looks but just a word
Love is leaving this cruel world
World witnessed many massacres
World but kept producing bombs
Bombs snatched kids from moms
Bombs even burnt butterflies' wings
Wings gained by the little kids’ souls
Wings carrying them to the God
God is there to hear their complaints
God shall ease their pains
Pains are being Inflicted even on animals
Pains are what the Earth now feels
Feel the ache of the oppressed
Feel these problems in your heart
Heart always deep down knows
Heart always craves peace
Peace only should rule the Earth
Peace like the words of grand-mothers
Mothers never have to cry
Mothers should always smile
Smile that men deserve too
Smile can only be brought by justice
Justice is crucial for survival
Justice can eradicate occupation
Occupation is a barbaric act
Occupation must end
End of the Earth is drawing near
End should not bring happiness
Happiness is all we need
Happiness brings peace
Peace...
Need...
