Hail Peace Poem by Ponniah Ganeshan

Hail Peace



Hail peace
Hail peace
Though hell should bar the way
Let’s all pray.

No more tears on our faces
No more blood on our streets

With tearful eyes
Lacerated chest
And blood everywhere
In the streets
We spent days
On the bed of agony.

The sins of our past
Be buried and forgotten
Let’s write a fresh chapter
In the scripts of the world
Wearing fresh hearts
And see,
The terror will not raise its
Ugly head again.

Hail peace
Hail peace
Though hell should bar the way
Let’s all pray.
