All the time the world mentions this four letter word And the gruesome acts done on the most innocent victims Who have no say in the world politics, It takes me more pain than joy, To mention that love exists. The mysteries that one undergoes In the name of spreading the immortal love That is bequeathed in the struggle for human position Yes, the world is poisoned And love exists only in the air Those who take the mantle of declaring holy war In the name of protecting the sycophancy And asking for the skies forgiveness Yet causing untold suffering To the many young, feeble and unawares And clasping on Kalashnikov Chanting slogans of hatred Leave one loathing being born into this earth The world has become drudgery pain Causing the cries all over Living in fear of subordination …and hatred We all ask for some recourse And call for the peace, which has since become elusive That we eat, drink and live in hatred Against other mortals for the sins they do not know Is this worth the life? And whose life are we living in anyway If bombs, atomic energy, WMD and hate speech Spewed from the same mouths which call for love, and peace It only remains a hotbed soup that works with guns for guns And not love, compassionate and tolerance That is surely the pain of love!! « return. |
