Let Peace Be With You My Dear, And Let It Stay With You Forever Poem by Ulas Basar Gezgin

In this world which is full of bombs and land mines,
On streets that smell blood and lynching,
There is only one way, if there is ever a future for humanity
Let peace be with you my dear, and let it stay with you forever.

Through the coffins, corpses and funerals,
The dead gets forgotten, while those who are sending them to war
Continue to enjoy their comfortable lives.
Let peace be with you my dear, and let it stay with you forever.

By each and every death, people get more angry, even more angry.
That is exactly what those in power want in their palace.
First, they give their toys to kids, and then the real guns.
Let peace be with you my dear, and let it stay with you forever.

Don't ever forget those who forged an identity for you by deaths.
That is because, this is the worst misdeed to these lands.
Grow up, but remember your childhood that was full of hope.
Let peace be with you my dear, and let it stay with you forever.

You unwittingly witnessed the dead kids, the drowned ones.
Tell the story of pain instigated by wars to your grandkids, help them love peace.
Although we adults, considering our kids couldn't make peace,
Let peace be with you my dear, and let it stay with you forever.
