“As I gaze upon the world”

Whenever I see the world around me

I see the terrible sights around me

I see children working around me

I see people starving to death around me

I see burnt houses around me

But I cannot do anything to stop this around me

Most importantly I see people

Crying for peace around me

As I raise my voice for plea

Is there anyone to bring equality?

People are begging for tranquility

Lets leave all this far behind

What we need is peace of mind

Love for one and love for all

Peace to survive is today’s call.
