Peace
By: Shireen Raza
Why we feel so unsafe today,
Coz of terrors and horrors lying our way,
And all our happiness gone away,
At present. What we all need is
Peace, peace and peace…
Along with the progress of science
Is the killing of our conscience,
We run for money, we run for fame,
Killing and murdering has become a game,
At present, what we need is
Peace, peace and peace…
We, surrounded by problems and worries,
And burden of troubles, each carries,
Power has come over our lives,
Imagine, how hardly a man survives,
At present, what we need is
Peace, peace and peace…
