Let It Begin With You Poem by Ali Farah

Let It Begin With You



If you want peace on earth 
Let it begin with you
And be sure you work for justice 
It's what establishes lasting peace

If you want justice to grow
Let it begin with you 
And be sure you sow the seed today
It's injustice that produces conflict

If you want change to happen
Let it begin with you
And be sure you start it now
It's procrastination that delays victory.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Naturally people have tendency to dream for change or more urgently seek for change. Unfortunately, each and every individual thinks that others will do the necessary work for the change. Well as we know, everybody's business becomes to nobody's business and finally nothing serious happen. Also, we all love peace and tranquility but hardly realizes it has a prerequisite which is justice that makea it durable and lasting. We question why are people revolting without asking ourselves what are the root cause that drives people to revolt.Simply, justice cannot be separated from peace.
