PEACE MAY COME

everyday there's blood all around
fallen bodies decaying on the ground
can this war, these riots stop ever??
will the sounds of agony echo forever??
will everyday a mother would die?
will everyday an orphan would cry?
is there a meaning to all this?
does this view seems a bliss??

why can't we live in peace?
is it necessary to hear shrieks??
we have in the eyes of the Almighty an equal fame...
and still, like fools, we follow different names..
and worse, we even fight over them!!
we all are children of one God, we all are His gems...
but its what we fail to understand
we kill our Lord with our own hands...

can't there be a world full of Love?
joyous rivers and a calm sky above!?!
can't we make safe homes to live...
sufficient to eat and ample to give!?!

can't this vision ever come true?
of this world having a single hue...
where everyone can live happily as one...
with a small place under the sun!!

where the flowers smile
and the bees hum...
where the terror dies
and peace may come......
