Peace, We Need Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Peace, we need
Saturday,22nd May 2021

We not only appeal
but feel
the necessity
for bringing peace universally

is our soul caged?
have we failed to manage?
is it simply lip word?
O.lord make the people realize

why do we kill innocent?
what is need at present?
will the domains hold together?
if brought by force together!

what is the use of developing weapons of mass destruction?
do we want the annihilation of humankind?
no sensible people may find
the logic behind the mad drive

if we want to survive
we must revive
and make others believe
it is the peaceful co-existence that has to be lived again

it is painful to watch
but equally unfortunate not to catch
the spirit behind the peaceful drive
the world needs a resolve to dive for an honest approach
