LET PEACE BE ....

1 We will be happy, let everyone still
Let's pray, wit provides us such will
Instead of standing a mute witness
Why not we seek universal oneness
Let peace be the option of all, yes
Let us resolve to strengthen peace.

Violence and wars, if not curtailed
More to follow though millions perished
Together, let us arise to the occasion
To enlighten the magnitude of destruction
Let peace be the option of all, yes
Let us resolve to strengthen peace.

Drought and disease at some places
Poverty and starvation at other places
Aggressions became a routine feature
Would death and ruin rule our future?
Let peace be the option of all, yes
Let us resolve to strengthen peace.

Lives staked without a second thought
Innocents maimed by hasty conflicts
Like a stream blood flows on streets
While some mourn deaths, others celebrate
But, let peace be the option of all, yes
Let us resolve to strengthen peace.

2 peace is just a word
the end is closer than most think
survival is what is to replace peace
human behavior, does not permit peace
it is in our hearts to hate
though some hope, it is the cold who survive

3
the medicine of our time is sour
progress has devoured us
we are victims
of our own clever mechanisms
