** Long Forgotton Peace **
I wonder why this world is full of wars
With cruel hand the earth
It mars
Why Oh why the sacred
This cruelty,
This viciousness, ferocity,
And brutality.
Every soul is enemy, every
Tongue is venomous,
Every tree is crying for a tender
Pat from us
More often to cry, more widows
To dread,
The earth itself is turning dead
Man is ferocious just to
Claim his superiority?
Yet to me it is rather
An inferiority.
And in his fight hath made
The world,
The most undesirable place
To breathe,
Which once was filled
With herbs and herd
Now brutal blackness is making it
Barren and bleak
Till, I just closed
My eyes,
To feel dewdrops, rain and ice,
To admire sun, sky, brook,
Trees and mountains,
To seek long forgotton love and
kindness of humans.
Then, I just pray to God a silent pray,
To save the world of being a prey.
To make it sunny, blue and
Bright
And fill it with peace and
Harmony to the height.
That is my desire for
The rest of my life.
