It is an ever busy highway.
Above shines the hottest Sun of July.
Hardly any cloud passes by.
At its sides, sand spreads endlessly.
Rooted in scorching soil, stand plants,
With blooms without any protest!
PEACE glows on the faces of
Even those desert flowers! !
It is a serene dawn of Himalayan jungle.
Orange rays peep above snowy peaks.
Tigers and antelopes;
Hawks and doves;
Snakes and rats…
Await another day of struggle,
For food, shelter and even for lives!
PEACE glows on the faces of
Even those forest creatures! !
PEACE prevails everywhere;
Even in
Ever heaving deep Sea,
Ever blowing blue Sky,
Ever shining hot Sun,
Ever whirling Galaxies of millions of Stars…
But, alas!
Man alone is cursed with NO PEACE.
All disharmonies, conflicts, chaos
Trek from human mind to Earth!
God!
Bestow PEACE in human minds,
By eliminating greed and conflicts,
Which are the root cause of,
His eternal problems.
Let him perceive the UNIVERSAL PEACE,
That already reigns the entire Universe! !
