As I Gaze Upon The World Poem by Shamin Bashir Shah

As I Gaze Upon The World

Rating: 4.8


Whenever I see the world around me
I see the terrible sights around me
I see children working around me
I see people, starving to death around me
I see burnt houses around me
But I can't do anything to stop this around me
Most importantly I see people
Crying for peace around me
As I raise my voice for plea
Is there anyone to bring equality?
People are begging for tranquility
Lets leave all this far behind
What we need is peace of mind
Love for one and love for all
Peace to survive is today’s call.
