The world is bleeding by violent wars and terrors
Cities are destroyed and innocent lives are lost
People are fleeing for their lives from war zones
They get neither shelter nor homes
They hear only the ferocious sound of bombs and guns.
Is it destiny's cruel laugh that the civilized man is engaged
in the destruction of its own civilization!
O Man! Just see how innocents are punished for the errors of a few
Oh God! Let good reason prevail upon those who are decision makers
Let us stop rumors, stop hateful speech and stop wars
Let humanity be our religion, let kindness for the poor and needy be our Mantra
Banishing all hatred, let peace for the world be our Motto.

A wonderful and meaningful message to humanity. A timely and powerful write that we must adhere to specially those who were granted the power to govern. Liked the line: ' Let humanity be our religion'.....

God might have washed his hands after creating man and must be repenting for this universal destroyer.
