If nations could overcome the mutual fear and distrust whose somber shadow is now thrown over the world, and could meet with confidence and good will to settle their possible differences, they would easily be able to establish a lasting peace.

World Poetry Day,2012
Peace is what the world needs fast
Peace is required most
Peace can't come by waging wars
Peace is born through great efforts!
Peace can dwell when love prevails
Peace is the driving force
Peace must last forever to
Keep the world love life firstly
Peace is the priceless wealth much sought
Peace must start from homes
Peace must spread through all nations
And fill hearts and minds of men
Peace is one that brings progress
Peace can bridge differences
Peace is made by dialogues
Peace is the key to world's happiness

Errors
The error is made today, of late,
And too many can err in the ways of men.
The errors so bold and hard are lately in contempt,
For they are reckless, and I am poor for all.
The whole question is a mistake,
The whole answer should be silenced
For the signal is lasting and resolute,
As forming the signs of distrust.
Boldly go where we have gone,
Boldness shall overcome those in distrust;
Let happiness behold some fine path
And let it shake so much for the quake.

I believe in an America that is on the march — an America respected by all nations, friends and foes alike — an America that is moving, doing, working, trying — a strong America in a world of peace. That peace must be based on world law and world order, on the mutual respect of all nations for the rights and powers of others and on a world economy in which no nation lacks the ability to provide a decent standard of living for all of its people.

What happens if.......
What happens if we have one religion?
No cast, no creed and no more legions
No differences and no more opinions
We can cry over without cutting onions
What happens if we have one continent?
No fights, no boundaries and no discontent
No more deteriorations and only improvement
Progress all over and seen with development
Can there be any objection if we have one God?
Have we to blind other people with hot iron rod?
Is he not the embodiment of love and peace?
Will the life not be sweet and at ease?
Can we not vow to shun the violence?
Stop killings from right now and hence,
Should we not think over it at least once?
Embrace each other and never to pounce
Will it stop for the want of language?
Will we not be able to manage?
Can there be no peace without any carnage?
Are they all not adults or under age?
Mutual exchange of views may pave the way,
No conflicts and all will have definite say
Really it will be heaven on earth,
Talents easily available and never be the dearth
Will we able to stop conflicts?
No more bloodbath and wounds inflict,
If possible strong resolve to avoid distrust
Peace and harmony amidst joy and trust
It may look novel idea and funny
Whole world is running after power and money
May not find the idea with favour and durable
With unrest and wars it is certainly comparable
You may be termed idealist and mad
People may prefer to remain gloomy and sad
Is it the sign of fatigue or situation very bad?
It is because the perception we never had
It may need to have fresh look
World needs to be brought out of hook
All this can be read in religious books
Are we prepared to spoil the food with many cooks?

What is Peace? ?
What is peace? ?
Peace is when you care for others,
Peace is when there is no violence in the world,
Peace is much more powerful then evil,
Peace is easily found when you give others what you desire,
Peace is the answer to all the wars in the world,
Peace is when there is unity among all the people,
Peace is when your soul can rest,
Peace is when there is hope of good above,
Peace is when there is love for others,
Peace is when there is acceptance in the world,
Peace is bringing joy to the world,
Peace is in helping others
This is what Peace is,
This and much more!

Settle Down My Boy
Settle down, an eat your peas and gravy, my boy
Settle down, settle down my boy settle down
Stop wasting all your time with running around the town
Settle down, settle down my boy settle down
Knuckle down and find a job and take some responsibility
Settle down, settle down my boy settle down

Settle down, settle down my boy settle down
Look around for a wife to start a family, my boy
Settle down, settle down my boy settle down
Listen toy our father and hell tell you the same as me
Settle down, settle down my boy settle down
Your words would go in one ear and out the other side
Dont say my head was empty and I had things to hide
And you better put something away for your old age
So settle down, settle down my boy settle down
Settle down, settle down my boy settle down uh huh huh

No nation which refuses to exercise forbearance and to respect the freedom and rights of others can long remain strong and retain the confidence and respect of other nations. No nation ever loses its dignity or good standing by conciliating its differences and by exercising great patience with, and consideration for, the rights of other nations.

Hymn For a Lasting Peace
The world needs a lasting peace if man is to survive:
Let nation not fight nation,
Let race not conquer race,
Let the strong not commit invasion,
Let all men share Earth's grace.
Ban aggression of any kind,
Ban all arms production,
Ban man's violence against mankind,
Ban all forms of destruction.
It is for a lasting peace that man has got to strive.
The world needs a lasting peace if man is to survive:
To save the snow capped mountains,
To save the depths of the seas,
To save the springs and fountains,
To save the birds and the bees;
That farms and forests flourish,
That rivers and streams flow pure,
That fields give life and nourish,
That Earth's great seasons endure.
It is for a lasting peace that man has got to strive.
The world needs a lasting peace if man is to survive:
That man may walk upon Earth,
That he will find an open door,
That there be the rights of birth,
That man destroys not, be the law;
That each to his faith can hold,
That homes and gardens are safe,
That not a child dies in the cold,
That not a child is a hungry waif.
It is for a lasting peace that man has got to strive.
The world needs a lasting peace if man is to survive:
That Human Rights be for all men,
That every injustice should cease,
That Human Rights protects all men,
That all men can find perfect peace;
That there be but one brotherhood,
That the land, sea and sky be free,
That progress be for the common good,
That peace everlasting will be.
It is for a lasting peace that man has got to strive.

To be anchored
Both needs to be anchored safely
As sea can be rough but ship can sail smoothly
Both have honest prelude to get united
One is with consent and another secretly dated
Love demands more to be accommodative
One can not remain spectator and selective
Both may take you on dangerous turn
To come back safely may be a good return
Dating is good to find suitable partner
It is good for the new and beginner
They can have mutual discussion
Apart from love and earnest passion
There is nothing like courting the love
It is mutually convenient and lightly drove
It may be dangerous as live volcano
Upon eruption, it can turn into inferno
Both are ideal to feel naughty
Not one can be weak and another as mighty
It is mutual surrender for lasting relation
To desert in love at this stage is out of question
See the reason through and stand for test
It may be ideally suited as best
Go for the accommodation in same boat
Life may seem nice with sugar coat
You will have to think for real and ever lasting relation
You may have nice feeling with very good indication
It may come easily to you if made little thrust
Only small portion in mind may have to prove as trust

A Door To World Peace
The door to world peace is open.
All nations are invited to come in.
A welcome mat is available for every one,
And rogue nations may enter again.
The door to world peace is open
And no nation is turned away,
But if few decide not to enter the fold,
Peace will be shortlived in every way.
Peace keepers fill our hearts with hope,
And attempt to dry our heavy tears,
And open hearts for sound relationships
That will last for many delightful years.
A nation that is closed to others
Grows harder than concrete or stone,
And the people who reside there
Are destined to be isolated and alone.
If you slam the door on some nations,
Peace initiatives will continue to cease,
But if all nations are willing to compromise,
What a difference it can make to seek peace?
Skeptical nations will always wonder
How world peace might have been
When the door was open for them to enter,
But they failed to come in.

True peace.
Peace, that is all the world needs.
but how long could peace last?
As the hearts of trouble ones,
are at large.
And for peace to settle on each of hearts,
is for a certain wants.
But how is it to find true peace?
That is if to just image of trouble,
and peace can no longer stay.
That there is so much of the world's problems,
that even the slightest peace could not even live.
And so how can true peace still lives?
How can peace exist,
in this tiring world?
That seems only problems lives.
But sure there is true peace,
that comes from above,
that comes down like a dove.
From the One that loves the world,
and true peace that He gives,
that last for eternity.
That we can be sure,
that problems from the world,
are settle by Him.
For all praises shall be given unto Him,
for true peace comes from Him,
Jesus Christ.

3 B.03 Growth Of Peace
By force peace cannot be kept,
Only by understanding you get,
The most unfavorable peace be,
Better than the most just war truly.
Peace not produced by terror or fear,
Not in cemeteries where graves stare,
Nor by revolt of violent repression flares,
But by mutual trust - then peace glares.
If the pin-pricks of cannon shot proceed,
The chances of lasting peace will recede,
As the knowledge of organized warfare,
Shows not grasp when peace stares.
To create anything - force has no ability,
The sword always beaten by spirit be,
Fight not too often with the enemy,
Else you teach him war effectively.
If peace the desire to achieve be,
Do not talk to your friends only,
To attain this goal you must surely,
Talk to your enemies with sincerity.
Marriage of people and planet,
All attendant vows to attain it,
Their best - nations contribute to it,
Supporting all - best gift for it.
No trust more sacred can be,
Than world holds with progeny,
No duty more important to see,
Than rights respected of humanity.
Where welfare of all protected be,
Life free and every head high be,
Where fear scares none surely,
Then the growth in PEACE will be.
Peace to really have any meaning,
For many who only known suffering,
Must be translated into bread or rice
Shelter, health, education - must rejoice.
Peace rides when the Power of Love,
Swaps the Love of Power and shoves,
To reach peace you must teach peace,
For justice and equality - preach peace.
Freedom and human dignity flowing,
Peace - the only battle worth waging,
And without force ever prevailing,
Justice and progress all achieving.
When people realize all the souls,
Within universe and power doles,
With the center of oneness holds,
All one within Great Spirit beholds.

Love can win heart
It is natural gift and art
It builds personality and forms part
Smile with love really provides good start
What else can be more rewarding?
When it serves the purpose of harsh wordings
Where the swords and bombs can do nothing
The sweet smile and peace symbol can do anything
Personality builds nice character
In which he or she is main actor
Entire drama takes place in different form
The relations developed are forever and warm
In past such people have helped to restore peace
They have worked as ambassadors and eased
Little spark could have meant as catastrophe and disaster
Not only in man and material but for poverty to move faster
Diplomacy is not all about strict face with no charm
It lands country into trouble and does more harm
Little smile on face withers the storm
Tactful words and peace initiative brings everything in original form
I appreciate and praise their wonderful skill
It is not only helpful in day to day life but demonstrates good will
Half of the troubles disappear as talks start in good atmosphere
There remain no distrust and everybody breathes fresh air
It costs nothing or little in any terms
Amicable settlement is made and things turn
In favor on agreed terms with mutual consent
Fear and distrust permanently evaporate or go absent

O God, let there be peace
O God, let there be peace
Let differences among people cease
Let there be happiness everywhere
Let there be suffering nowhere
Let people love each other
And have a friendly nature
To have a good future
And be compassionate to every creature
Let people live together
And promote a healthy culture
Irrespective of religion, caste and creed
O God, let there be peace
Let there be no violence of any kind
For the sake of mankind
Let humans overcome their greed
O God, let there be peace
Let there be no gender discrimination
Let women face no humilation
Let there be safety on every street
O God, let there be peace

Renewed Visions
Through blood stained windows,
I see vistas of hope
and peace being shown by the dove;
Peace idols have carved the peace for scope,
for us to enliven it with the message of love.
I chant the words “World is one”,
'No' to war I say, 'Yes' for peace I pray;
with the olive leaf I nurse every wound,
Urge all to sign the peace pact of universal language
then our world will be no more etched with fear;
peace will soar in our hearts forever.
Earth loves us,
I crave to establish on earth love and peace
for then barbaric acts of destruction will cease.

In my opinion, if we have not achieved peace, it is because people forget its most fundamental aspect. Before we talk about peace among nations, we must settle our peace with God.
