While the Ministry of Defence
talks of nothing but war
and piles ammunition
secretly on the border
and wishes to unleash terror
with bloodshed and murder
and ever grows heartless
and denigrates humanity altogether
only for the sake of war
let there be Peace Ministry
to work to maintain peace
diffuse the tension
with the neighbour
that brews all of a sudden
and prepare the table for dialogue
and settle all disputes
with mutual understanding
and extend cooperation
for the welfare of people
and prize humanity above everything
to stay safe and healthy with a future bright indeed
so peace is what mankind forever needs.
