Peace Lover

All of us are peace lovers but

Peace is a state of mind

There are reasons for irritation

When we can’t be cool and kind

 

Sometimes we must raise voice

And become a trailblazer

Sometimes we shouldn’t bow down

And surrender to pressure

 

Seeing a crime taking place

If we are mute spectators

It’s not peace, it’s cowardice

Which makes our crime greater

 

Peace denotes justice for all

Equal chance we all deserve

No violence for creed or greed

Coexistence we should conserve

 

It’s   by our   way   of   thinking

We’d establish peace on earth

Well–being, comfort, and health

Can   bring   real   joy   and   mirth

 

Like  soldier, we   must   think

Not of killing but of security

Then, in the world, will peace

 Prevail blissfully for eternity.
