Oh, World!
Oh World! What madness! What hopelessness!
What have we done right, what have we done wrong?
From the beginning, through fighting for domination,
From domination to colonisation,
From colonisation to the modern world,
We are still grasping,
Without reaching and without being anchored in humanity.
What have we done?
We live in a world governed by egos, not humans,
where egos dictate where the next chaos will occur, and
when and where to intervene, for strategic and beneficial wealth rather than humanity.
Where is the Peace?
We fuel wars, sit back and watch it burn,
watch children, people die, watch them suffer psychological death—drugs, rape, abuse, displacement, Ethnic cleansing, bombs, and more.
Yet, some reap over the blood of our children and people.
Where is the humanity?
It seems somewhere in evolution our humanity died.
What happens to our rights and dignity as humans?
Where is heaven’s mandate?
Why must our children choose knives instead of pens?
Why must our children choose guns instead of tools?
Why must our children choose bombs instead of paints and brushes?
Are we that desensitised that we can’t see?
Are we soulfully blind to the fact that our trees are being cut down?
Why can’t we have Peace?
What is the price of Peace?
What does a peaceful world look like?
What a shame!
We live in a world devoid of Peace,
Many don’t know Peace’s face or what she might look like.
Peace, oh, Peace! How sweet is your name?
You drip with honeyed gooey sweetness,
yet the world hasn’t tasted you.
You exist yet—a phantom for many.
And… even when you arrive,
underneath your supposed ethereal beauty is slow-simmering chaos waiting to erupt,
Something driven by greed, world domination, and superiority.
Still... we can bring Peace back home, embrace her through Unity, shared Humanity, and Understanding. Knowing that the road ahead won’t be easy, but
We must, We must, We must.
Or else …
WE will sink deeper into the abyss.
