Love, We Should.
Don't darken my skies.
Don't dirty my seas.
Oh ambassadors of war !
Return from here and there
return to never return again.
Go away from here.
Smells of gunpowder
and the noise of gunshots-
and in the greenery of my land
Showers of bombs
Who needs them all ?
Just a little more land
just another handful of diamonds and pearls.
in the umbrellas of pride and ego.
No one eats more than a belly
And no one sleeps more than a few dreams.
and so for an unquenched hunger
who can bear cruelty and injustice ?
No one can find peace
as long as cruelty and injustice prevail.
Even if the world is won
we step but on two footmarks.
Even if we rule the skies,
we have but our head to raise.
Pride- we have to remove
and tear away the nets of greed.
The darkness of tumult has be illuminated
with the light of humanity.
Once again
The sound of conch has to be heard
And the spreading war
has to end.
Songs of love
has to be in the air
Human has to love a human.
And only love, they should.
