When the world begins to drown
in endless seas of tears.
When only hatred rules the world
and there are only fears.

When no one says a word of love
and hopeless is the mood,
When only warriors have the might
and war will be their brood.

When no one wants to share his bread
no water there to drink,
When no one dries the tears of kids,
and no one wants to think.

To see the world so as I said,
that future we don't need.
Why should we only wait to die
and why our hearts should bleed?

It is now time for waking up
before the world's last day.
We should be brave to fight for life
courage will show the way.

Then we will see the rainbow there,
at the sky so clear and bright,
white doves will fly into the sky
and bring us back the light.

The light of peace, the light of love,
brings back the hope again.
And we should never more forget
how to avoid the pain.

We have to know, a life in peace
will never be for free
we have to fight for happiness
and love will be the key.

  • lots of wisdom in there 

    • That is how it should be understood, Ahsanul.

      Thank you for stopping by and reading my poem.

      As you can see, I wrote this poem 5 years ago, but it is still relevant.

  • It's like a wake up call...

    Very nice poem, very much related to the present world, especially Europe. Last stanza is brilliant, and the last two lines are the most catchy ones.

    We have to know, a life in peace
    will never be for free
    we have to fight for happiness
    and love will be the key.

    • Hi, Shaheen.

      Thank you for your appreciative comment on my poem.
      Unfortunately, armed conflicts around the world are not decreasing but increasing in number.
      I wonder if people will ever learn from the past and history.
      I don't understand why people waste their lives on wars.
      What matters victory or defeat in a conflict when you're dead and you've also killed a lot of people?
      There should be a subject in school where children can already learn empathy, how to avoid conflicts, how to respect and accept the diversity of human life, religions, attitudes to life, etc.
      They should have the opportunity to learn about humanity and tolerance.
