Why Come To Swords When We Have Words?

As the biggest Exporters of

Peace and Good will,

We are the buffer

Between the two worlds at war

Which threaten the peace

And tranquility of the cosmos.

We represent the Victims

In both Ukraine and Russia

Who fall to bullets

Who are full of fear

Who have never seen a happy

And normal day

Iran and Israel

Israel and Hamas

And burning of Lebanon,

If your eyes have vision

And your hearts,

A feeling of belonging to gods

The blood that flows in streets

Craves for peace

Many a childing mother

Across the borders

Needs a hospital

Which thee have bombed 

No urgency, no insult

No assault can justify

The death of humanity

And men

Losing sanity

And catering to lower logic

O Lovers great!

Mankind deserves a fair deal

Of Love and Peace

Let your sons and daughters,

Have a happy sleep

Hatred is an unsafe game, turn a new leaf.
