In the modern age
It is never done and will not be in the modern age
To rewrite the old history in new page
The twisting of facts only to suit national interest
It will ever stand as shining factor to serve the best
The powerful kingdom might have humiliated the neighbor
The subdued country may long for revenge and harbor
The opportune time for avenging defeat as sweet reprisal
Always in search for suitable occasion’s arrival
The old wounds can not be healed or forgotten
The rivalry can well be taken care off and bitten
The opening of new chapter can usher in new era
The long vision is needed with so much adding of an extra
No country can afford to live long with hostility
The economy will drained out due to its continuity
It will bring colossal loss and unimagined misery
The country may face poverty and millions may die as hungry
Even the strongest economy may falter
The situation may worsen but not alter
There will be enormous effect on living standard
There will be reverse march instead of going forward
It is fact that national pride is something can’t be compromised
Nothing can be bartered or humiliatingly promised
The size of the land or prosperity can not rule the scene
The similarity and reasonability has to be seen
There will be durable peace only when relation grow stronger
The hostility and disparity must not be allowed any longer
It has to end with cordial note in earnestness
There will then be real peace and happiness
The world scene is like oozing volcano
The fire is slowing coming out like inferno
Little spark can ignite whole of regions
Slowly to be divided into ethnic war and religions
The bloody wars bring no result
The whole of population to live under fear and insult
The future generation may be led to believe in catastrophes
What else we are prepared to give as our legacies?
Time to act and with enough time to react
Collect the threads and smoothly to act
Even if one region is made war zone free?
It will be no less than holy Christmas tree
Let us strive hard to give world a parting gift
New resolve for peace avoiding the rifts
Full thrust in war torn area with new face lift
Complete transformation with new outlook and radical shift
*let world witness a tension free and bloodless peace zone*

Let Life Be Spent
Let life be spent at ease
Many areas need care and fresh release
An area of peace, harmony and stability
That is far cry and needed for humanity
It takes life thousands of years back
So much to worry and so much to consider at stake
Who has benefited so far from the wars?
It has only pushed us to miseries and very far
We have seen countries going fast into disintegration?
Always at loggerheads with no cordial relation
Hostility on both the sides with no hope of resumption
Hate and distrust only on the false pride and assumptions
Any country can progress if people are safe
Live with full freedom and deciding the fate
Prosperity and peace as the core principles
Country is to be taken out of from clashes and troubles
Peaceful existence is only way out
Let there be nothing else to talk about
We have lot more to give to our future generation
Solutions and way out to live with harmony in question
This had been visualized by our forefathers
They wanted trouble free world from wars
They had seen and witnessed destruction
Now is the time for us to rebuilt and have solid construction
There is lot more to share and distribute
Wealthy nations have responsibilities and more to contribute
Many nations look toward them for generous attitude
Let wars be not waged on false pretext or any prelude
Era of cold war is over new thinking has emerged
World have moved further and still poised to surge
There is enough of room for future technology
Beneficial to all for growth and removal of old psychology
We may have problems concerning to safety
Yet trial can be given to preserve stability
If nations are at peace and resolve to stay together
The world can remain at her best here after

A freedom is won
To free from yoke is called freedom
It is arising out of great struggle and wisdom
It has no parallel in history and forgotten seldom
It is great occasion as freedom is won
It is considered holier than holy
It is celebrated with fun fare and enjoyed wholly
It is considered as unique occasion
It has been realized through wisdom and vision
No one may prefer long domination
It will result into hatred and alienation
It will give rise to rebellion and mutiny
The powerful kingdom may be reduced as small or tiny
It gives rise to national sentiments
There is always popular movement
It is backed by aspirations and hatred
They are all out to lead and to be led
Have you even seen the joy and happiness in animal?
When they are freed from captivity from arrival?
We are human being and have some powerful thinking
How can any right person may prefer to witness sinking?
Everybody is driven by simple logic
No one should be kept under yoke without any basic
It can not be the power game or show of strength
We are prepared to sacrifice and go to any length
God has made us free and sent as such for mission
We may be subjected to an act of omission and emission
But it an never be the sole aim of domination
No country may prefer to be called a slave nation
No one can keep it for long and rule with peace
It may be temporary lull or truce
The hidden lava may erupt to engulf all
It may then amount to disappearance and fall
No one has survived or tolerated the subjugation
Either its s bloodbath or peaceful anticipation
The outcome is definitely on expected lines
The sun is emerging with powerful shine
It may add to more or existing agony and pain
The phase may be called critical and uncertain
It might have played havoc with the system
It was so far not realized by them
It is possible that you may be treated even shabbily
You may face misrule and can't digest it happily
The freedom struggle had last long with enormous losses
Now there may be fight for becoming the head or bosses
We may have complete say in internal matter
We may be recognized as peace lover and trend setter
What are we going to offer to the free world?
Will it be an attempt to push them back to the arena of cold?

Territorial integrity
Why countries are simply invaded?
Do the other countries are principally wedded?
Does their ethnic love and belonging firmly embedded?
The country’s territory annexed and added
Is it grand design to form a powerful block?
The bell should ring as per their time in clock
Will their aim succeed and keep together the flock
Fire will be raging inside giving room for smoke
It is how the nationalism and patriotism suffer
Small countries cease to exist and work as buffer
They may lie low but not at the cost of national pride
No one will tolerate the insult and shame to newly bride
They prefer to have sway and hegemony
Every occasion availed with grand ceremony
Show of strength with power and money
Why should they bother for peace and harmony?
You can’t suppress the strong nationalism?
Can’t stop it with propaganda or journalism?
Patriotism and nationalism are simple words
Many lost kingdoms even with powerful lords
History may not repeat with glorious past
Doubts should not be raised and apprehensions cast
Peace should given a chance to long it last
Nothing should be at stake as actions should be fast
Time has passed as nations used to bully
Bloodbath and humiliation not realized fully
It is emergence of universal brotherhood and faith
People are aware and not afraid of death
You may subjugate and rule the land
Reign of terror with firm iron hand
National insult and wounds may not be healed
Agony and pain can not be revealed
It is how we respect the sentiments,
Not to violate any space in continents
Respect to territorial integrity in sincerity
Respect to land and overall sovereignty
Millions want to live with peace and honour
Atrocities and tales may serve as horror
Commitments, if any, must be as clear as mirror
Why not we bid farewell to fear and terror?

An end to hostility
Hostility can never cease or end
If peace initiatives are not taken or feelers sent
It may go on worsening the situation
It may have distrust consequences if allowed long duration
Who has benefited from long hostile atmosphere?
Have they been able to create permanent sphere?
Has it paid any dividend for the times to come?
Only hatred, misery, pain and sufferings to welcome
It has helped only war mongers
We have struggled and remained as strangers
They have proved good businessman and managers
It has brought havoc, destruction and produced ravagers
They have vested interest to see that nations are reeling under poverty
They must remain under their subjugation and never emerge as mighty
It doesn’t augur well with their national interest and hence inflame the passion
Unrest, bankruptcy and misfortune force them to go in for submission
Nothing moves on tract with right spirit and harmony
Illegal funding and over throw of legitimate Governments with money
Subjects may reel under dictators without any freedom
No rights of any kind and prosperity witnessed random
Nations can’t be put under heels for longer period quietly
Their voice can’t be ruffled and crushed mercilessly
They may emerge strong form impossible certainty
It may prove their graveyard even if they are powerful or mighty
No nation can survive with permanent hostility
It may ruin them completely and reduce the ability
There is no reason and purpose behind its continuation
It may be proving stumbling block for their elevation
No one has benefited for continued struggle and lead to slavery
Hostility ahs crippled their economy with no future recovery
You may not be in position to regain glory or fame
You will be reduced to work as pawn with shame
If the peace initiative is lost then it will be very difficult
It may add to sufferings and confidence can never be built
Generations after generation may inherit the hatred
They may find no hope but gloom future to lead
Even in our normal life, we can’t afford to be less tolerant
Even thought it is our weakness and possibly inherent
It is very hard to forget treachery a and set backs
Even then it must be tackled wisely possibly with still more cracks
It is bound to yield promising result
Respect may instill the confidence and substitute for insult
Good confidence building measure may improve relation
Hostility may end for good with its cessation

The world peace
The world peace is still eluding
Major super powers are colluding
It is testing ground for weapons of mast destruction
Possibly from heaven they might have received instructions
World can be annihilated number of times
So much stock has of weapons has been racked on lines
We were never at such mercy and apathy
War is at next door if ignited without sympathy
Not a blade of grass will ever grow
No pure water in river may flow
The sky will be illuminated like thousand suns
The dead silence will be marked by no sound of guns
We have mastered the counter to counter systems
Only poison is mixed with soils to flow in stems
No future generation may be safe from radiation
Is there no way left for peace or reconciliation?
There is no win or loss in war
No one understands why it is fought for?
Who will benefit from war spoils?
What is there to gain when everything is on boil?
The use of weapons is no solution at all?
Peace should prevail and must be used as sincere call
It has more to give than to take in return
Let us give peace a real chance in turn
It is easy to wage a war than to strive for peace
Daily threatening postures and warning to release
Still no scope for imminent war but continuous fear
The continent eagerly await for peace but so much agony to wear
The world has witnessed two terrible wars
Its hostility is witnessed by the sky and stars
The atmosphere is threatened with chemical poisons
The world has to fear for with many reasons
First atomic fall on twin cities is just before us as an example
The peace has to be only criteria and to be entered as preamble
Let whole world constitutions forbid its use in future
We can convincingly face the population in future
Who will want to share the future blame?
History may blacken our face and name
A black ship on the name of humanity
A strong resolve to be made for amity
The atom bombs can be no deterrent
It is hollow thereat and is quietly apparent
But suppose it is falling in wrong hands
They will not differentiate between foes and friends
Let us dream for a stable world
Devoid of hostility and free from domination fold
Let everybody breathe the fresh air and feel the freedom
Such things can happen rarely or seldom

A peace for trial
What a love depicting scene?
never witnessed and seen
it is dying need of an hour
when can we smell a flavor?
When will we live as one?
when that thought will be borne?
when our children will be free from all tension?
Peace and love should find only mention
I long and wait for happy moments
when peace march to halt can be glorious movement?
all races and humans to act together
provide peace a chance and breather
No where we heard a war cry?
Remorse at heart and feel very shy
Always puzzling trend and asking, why?
We did all crimes against humanity without fair try
The repentance is a key to happiness
No realization until we face
What a pity for an ugly and mad race?
We shall never go for it in any case
It is wise to think of common platform
No ill feeling or distrust and well informed
That is the clear heart feeling and wish
All the golden opportunities not to miss
The peace chance can never come again
That must be the cause and our worry main
We shall try and strive for durable peace
So rest of the world can live at ease
Nothing will evaporate in single day
We must find solution and way
Hatred and dissension is not the solution
Peace and harmony should be the resolution
Who will come and preach us the lesson?
Where will find its very good mention?
Who will approach to ease the tension?
The Messiah may not descend to maintain the liaison
We have to act as emissary and prophet
No opportunity must pass out or to be let
It may be heavenly sent chance
It may illuminate with hope at once
Nothing goes into flames without a fire
We need not ignite but only admire
Not adding a fuel but act as extinguisher
We need to print the peace message as publisher
Everybody is needed in noble effort
Ship with olive Branch message may land at port
What else is needed except will or support?
Give it fair chance with initiative and efforts
Not all may go in or want the destruction
They too wait for chance or instruction
That may not come at all for their endeavor
It will fail them in their desire forever
I am no visionary
Certain things are not there in dictionary
We got to interpret rightly and act
This is need of an hour and fact

Christmas Spirit
Everyone gather near
And Ill tell you a story that youll love
Ooh its christmas time

To set us free
Oh I long to feel that christmas spirit in my heart
Oh I long to feel that christmas spirit in my heart

Oh my heart was filled with child night praise
And I hope there is you know it

A real chance
Can peace be not given a real chance?
What would happen if it tried at once?
No one is supposed to be bad at inner core
Only requires remote possibility to be explored?
Every heart beats for durable peace
Each and every individual wants to lead at ease
Who will want disturbed environment to lead?
The message is definitely understood and read
What forces us to be at logger heads and uneasy situation?
Why certain trouble spots be allowed to exist with its continuation?
Simple cosmetic surgery or casual care may not cure the ill
It certainly requires grater skill and strong will
We can understand the greed or lust for the land
We too can understand the long rivalry from friends
How can we afford it to continue for so many years?
We eagerly await the silence of guns in our ears
No matter how long we have remained as an enemy?
Not important how much treachery is committed by many?
It is still a long awaited peace trial for our survival
The sun will definitely shine more on its arrival
Some individuals may want it to worsen and add fuel
So many may come forward to play the role which is dual
Still it is not disheartening to hear some sincere efforts
Gradually it may be on wane with close and good rapports
It is not easy to spread the fire to neighborhood
It may engulf our own if not properly understood
Who will come forward and extinguish when faced with bitterness?
It is high time to wake up and show keenness and willingness
We have seen and witnessed the human tragedy in recent years
It is unbelievable and stories are refused to be heard by ears
How much colossal loss and disappearance of human lives in seconds?
No life, not even blade of grass and evaporation of water from ponds
Who is going to benefit from all this and at what cost?
When will it be realized by powerful or affected most?
Not that simple but not difficult also to be carried out
It is the only chance to be explored to avert the rout
Will we prefer to be called butchers or enemy of peace?
Will it not force us to rethink at the development of little tease?
I feel I am sworn enemy of hostility and futile wars
Not even sky will remain unaffected including stars

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!

A democracy not alone
It is not the democracy alone to enjoy
It can be dependent on many methods and how you employ
The people are made supreme to decide the course
Often it is giving the way and invite the curse
After all it has to be for the people's good
What is the use if they are starving for food?
still they have to live under poverty line
And we claim it alright and is very fine
Why have we not attained real form of liberty?
Why do we witness lawlessness and feel pity?
It is irony of fact that we have no iron will
We allow them free hand to target us and kill
Is it not the fact the there is large scale corruption?
The system is put to disuse and face frequent disruption
The legal cases takes years together for addressable
Where do we go then for its redressal?
The political rivalry is welcome in any form
Only people should remain vigilant and inform
The course can be steered and taken to safety
The adversary can be defeated even if he is powerful and mighty
I witness emergence of dictatorship
They come into power and act as lordship
It has lacuna and lack so much in application
The people still suffer In its continuation
The peace and happiness must prevail at any cost
This is troubling factor and is seen with most
No system is perfect unless rightly implemented
It may deliver good but still adversely commented
All dictators and despots are not that evil
They have been represented as devil
We are the culprits to have openly encouraged
The country's affair could have been well managed
Nothing is condemned or praised
It is the only finger raised
We may lack the strength to oppose
The country is at loss as we observe truce and pause
Some of the decisions can be taken arbitrarily
if that can lead to defuse the situation easily
There is no need to go through tortuous route
We should try to weed out and strike at the root
We all know there is tragic end for despots
They receive all negative reports
Their future hangs in balance and fear for life
They can't handle the country which torn with strife
Democracy or despotic rule can serve better
It should serve better and not shatter
All our aspirations for peace and stability
It will be known as best very good quality

War and Peace
Wars cannot give a lasting peace;
Wars cause much hatred and ill-will;
Wars are futile and costly too;
Wars break existing peace with ease!
Wars cause deep wounds of hearts and minds
–That can’t be healed except by time;
Wars lead to loss of lives untold
–That cannot be ever regained.
Wars serve to foment more troubles;
Wars make the world more insecure;
Wars shift the balance of powers;
Wars do not solve the world’s problems.
Love only solves great differences;
Love only bonds the earth’s peoples;
Love only brings peace with much ease;
Love is the key to global peace.

When Women Will Rule The World
When women will rule the World sadly i won't be around
My bones will be resting forever in some quiet dead person's ground
But what a World 'twill be to live in the flower of peace will bloom again
And for as long as women do rule the World peace in the World will remain,
For as long as men rule the World terror and warring will live on
They have not learned from the mistakes of past male leaders with men as leaders all hope of peace gone
When women will rule the World the World will be a better place to live in
Mothers will not have to weep for their dead children there will not be wars for to win,
Women give birth to the soldiers mothers do not want their children to die
A dead hero is better than a living coward that is if you believe a lie,
Women do not want their children fighting in wars far away
There would be less wars in the World if women had a greater say
And when women will rule the World war will be a thing of the past
The flower of peace will be blooming and beautiful peace it will last.

Herculean task
Lately world leaders have consented to some session
May be Herculean task but agreed to reduce tension
Hunger, death and starvation looming over horizon
Atmosphere is also not favourable with depletion of ozone’s
We are spending millions on outer space
May we call it futile and mad race?
Even one percent of it may reduce the poverty
Need not watch countless deaths with pity
How much do we loose on internal fights?
Why scores of people loose over legitimate rights?
Even land of liberty face danger and not feel at ease
Have they no right to continue and live with peace?
Our forefathers had dreamed of free world
Warm relations with all and war hysteria in cold
They gave us freedom with thought of expression
No to all measures which lead to suppression
I think it may take very long years
Good appeals may also fall on deaf ears
Weak may have fear of complete annihilation
Sovereignty and legitimacy may loose its relation
Some of worst fears are likely to disappear
World may live in peace and no constant fear
Peace efforts may yield result but brunt bear
No War, no war but peace words we may hear
Over the years we lived under constant shadow
War hysteria and no room for peace window
How many have lost lives leaving behind widows
Can’t we honestly adhere and take simple vows
Generations after generation may inherit the legacy
Hate and distrust may rule and have fallacy
Let us build good foundation to last for long
History may judge and not prove us wrong
Be the first to rise from the grave
You are sons of soils and equally brave
It is you who will lead the peaceful world
Always happiness with constant fears at hold

When Youre A Free Man
Time... quickly passes by
If only we could talk again
Someday I know Ill see you smiling
When youre a free man again
High... on a mountain side
We laughed and talked of things to come
Someway I know Ill see you shining
When were all free men again
You left your country for peace of mind
And something tells me youre doin alright
How are the children and rosemarie
I long to see you
And be in your company
Someday I know Ill see you smiling
When youre a free man again
I often wonder why
Our world has gone so far astray
Someway I know Ill see you shining
When were all free men again
You gave love freely to those with tears
Your eyes were sad then you saw the need
You know that love lasts for eternity
Lets be gods children
And live in perfect peace
Peace perfect peace
Perfect peace
Peace
Someway I know Ill see you shining
When youre a free man
When were all free men again
When youre a free man

A fair chance
Can that happen ever?
Wars are averted forever
Olive branch in one hand with message of peace
For millions of people to live at ease
Many may doubt and see it as impossible
The wars are imposed and forcible
Slight provocation can engulf entire world
No country can afford to keep the relation in cold
Has world ever witnessed winning of war without fight?
Who would judge our action and emphatically say right?
Can peace be taken as last hope to see the light?
The peace should not be lost out of sight
Yes, mere gesture or process with olive branch is imprcaticable
The impossible result is achieved through and histroy can be tracable
World with the piles of atmoic weapons can’t dare to fight
Only peace with olive branch can lead us and make it alright
There may be threat behind olive branch diplomacy
Still it has increased the peace efforts with frequency
The world doesn’t want misery in the form of another war
We have missed opportunity but still are not very far
With deterrence on one hand and olive branch on another
The blame may be passed on to others
There may still be hidden efforts to defuse
No one may want wart but refuse
Olive branch strategy is right means of persuation
The war is ruled out and is out of question
There may be complete annihilation and destruction
It can succeed with powerful message and instruction
The strongest survive and weakest suffer
The weak surrender and always offer
They play the pawn inpower game
The peace is elluded and can never come
It is the strongest will power that must emerge
The war at no cost must raise head and surge
It is duty of all peace loving people
Weather strong, weak patient or able
The peace has to be given fair trial
No one can dare to offer any denial
It is need of the hour and necessacity
We can prove it with our ability
The world is at the brink of war
The dark clouds appear and are not very far
Evey moment the peace is threatened
The stand of enemy is always hardened
We got to carve out the peace strategy
It can be in form of peace mission with energy
The world leaders too are striving very hard
We must strengthen their hand and look forward
“The peace mus be given a fair chance”

Border guards
What the soldiers are expected to perform?
On the field and off the field to inform
About their personal attitude towards enemy soldiers
And to maintain human values as guard on borders
There is real feeling of brotherhood when prevails calm
Regular visit to their bunkers in peace time without any harm
Exchange of greetings on festival days and respect for family members
Sweet memory, grief, burden or welfare to remember
When hostility is likely to resume or danger bell sounds
There is concern when skirmishes are shadowing with firing of rounds
No one knows who will hit and face the casualty
Peace atmosphere is broken with the arrival of hostility
Many countries have faced volatile borders
The peace accord is broken as if for the benefit of traders
New weaponry is to be tested on the battle field
Who is bothered about gain or loss or territories held?
New round of peace talks and firing still on
How the soldiers can rejoice when their bodies are torn?
Daily there is loss of some lives as if they are heard of ships
Bodies may return home for families at home to weep
When country is really at war, the war cry is heard
The countless losses along with human lives is feared
Many children may turn orphans as war may be raged
The situation there after may not be successfully managed
The scenario is so hysterically up sided that soldiers turn fierce enemies
Men in uniforms put hand ready on triggers as ordered by the armies
The blood is rushed to their eyes to finish each others with revenge
The national interest comes to their mind and consciously up to avenge
Who knows how many bodies lay scattered in the battle field?
Even though the scene is different as latest weapons are used
Still the draggers and bayonets are used to score over adversary
There may be many occasions to celebrate it as triumph anniversary
What is value of life in the minds of uniform men?
Are they totally indifferent to their brethren and other humans?
Do they really feel joy when dragger is pierced through body?
Does he really think that it can be him one day or any body?
The triumph echo may die soon and peace may prevail again?
The loss on both the sides may be forgotten with piece of land regained
The bodies may be exchanged with full guard of honor
The fallen guards may be considered as martyrs and nation’s saviors

World cup fever
World cup cricket fever is over
Complete population was provided enough cover
Still the fear was not over and threatened the lives
Whole country prayed for safety and tried to relive
We never surrendered to threats and stood like rock
The time was slowly passing in the clock
It did no turn round and strike
It is over with jubilation much to everybody’s like
The last ball of match has gone to boundary
Pin dropp silence had prevailed in whole country
It is matter of joy and pride
We can not over play or hide
Limitless joy and friendship in abundance
This is how India rates in her presence
World bowed to the tremendous spirit
The dark cloud were hovering in sky with lots of heat
The event has passed off incidence free
No more threat to life and hurry to flee
Whole nation is celebrating it as triumph
It was well deserved and not was bluff
We have shown world a class and tolerance
We can manage our selves without any dependence
Let free world see it as victory for sports
Let us work toward peace and spoil the chance to abort
The country is rejoicing today
It has shown full courage and way
The world all over has witnessed peaceful demonstration
This is how it is called cordial maintenance of relation

A blood hots up
It is national sentiment and I am deeply shocked
At gruesome murders when day light is rocked
When crowd is fired at and resulting into deaths?
Long queues are scene for laying the wreath
It has become routine and hunting ground
New technique is employed and innovative ways are found
People are slain in broad day light
They want to conquer without offering fight
What do they to offer to their brethren?
What can be their aim to find in light of lantern?
Have they done blind to the senseless killings?
Are people in for it with willing?
It makes me bleed and hurts most
Irreparable loss is done by them at no cost
it may not be material loss or damage
it makes country to bleed and making it difficult to manage
How long we will witness the carnage?
Why people are killed and thrown into drainage?
What type of game they are involved in?
Is it not the dirty tricks or ways employed very mean?
Why to we distrust the system and cast a doubt?
Why sudden loss of face and turn about?
Is there any secret understanding between terrorists or clout?
Why sudden spurt in violence to face the rout?
It pains me deeply and hurts conscience
I must go into oblivion for doing nothing with silence
I can’t knock the inner voice and ask for remedy
Life has turned hostile with tragedy
I will not stand up and face the weather
Neither I will cry nor continuously bother
May consider it as set back and differ
Opinion of others stand good but we have to suffer
It gave me enough of strength to stand fast
Mind occupied with sense with courage to last
Nothing so particular with malice intention
Still it stood as test and raised many question
I must search the soul and repent
No to further quest and silently consent
Confine to reality with utmost sincerity
Movement with steady pace and no more hostility
I should go down with human dignity
Love to live with natural beauty
that is there on earth without any blame?
Can any one remain aloof and claim?
I too would live with no malign intent
Avoid unpleasant scene and remain content
God is so kind to grant us whatever we desire
why then we hesitate and not even admire?
I want to give message of peace
Abhor the violence and try for hostility to cease
Nothing may help to solve the misery
We will god own as butchers in the history
Violence adds to violence
Cruelty and death can’t be compensated with condolence
Let us sit together and bring an end to bloodshed
To bring revolution by bloodshed is not a trade

Peace In Our Time
Thank you for the gift
The freedom to wonder
In search of the light
Are we gonna let it shine
Forgiveness is the key
The perfect emotion
Will you show us the way
To peace in our time
Where the wild wind blows
The deserts are shiftin
And the seed will grow
In the sands of time
From the darkest night
A new day is dawning
Its a long long way
To peace in our time
Tell me where can we find
Peace in our - in our time
Where can we find
Peace in our time
From a distant shore
Voices are crying
Can you hear them call
Are we gonna light their way
Salvation is the key
We have to keep tryin
What we need right now
Peace in our time
Tell me where can we find
Peace in our - in our time
Where can we find
Peace in our time
Thank you for the chance
To light up the darkness
Leading the way
Show us to the promised land
Tear down these walls
That keep us imprisoned
What were prayin for
Is peace in our time
Tell me where can we find
Peace in our - in our time
Where can we find
Peace in our time
