Peace
(@GeminiGirl)
World peace-
Is it possible?
Pondering over it,
I sat in front of mirror.
A frown-
That’s what I first saw.
Is it such a dilemma?
I asked myself.
The answer I got was
A raised brow and
A question in return-
What is world peace?
Bill says, to vanish boundaries,
Like a white glove- a whole.
Equality, secularity and serenity
For a day, maybe.
Is it the same for you?
Oh! One more question it is.
Is it same for me?
Equality?
Secularity?
And
Serenity?
Oh!
Yes.
That’s what I think.
But,
For me, things are a bit different.
The serenity of the
Snoring infant-
Lullaby it is.
That’s the peace.
Happiness among children-
Disabled or poverty stricken,
Black or white…
Hand in hand they play
In the garden of equality.
That’s the peace.
“Are you Muslim?”
“Are you Hindu?”
“Are you Christian?”
“Are you Sikh?”
Breaking such questions,
We all wattpaders cherish secularity.
That’s peace.
Asian or American,
European or African,
Australian or from Antarctica
All together…
Not with spurious smiles,
But with the purity of heart.
That’s peace.
No more blood shedding
Of innocence…
No more killing
Of trusts…
No more ignoring
Needy…
That’s peace.
Not just this 31st December,
I desire of peace for forever.
Boundaries or no boundaries…
Together or alone…
Near or faraway…
I desire eloquence of it…
Peace…
The nobility…
The serenity…
And…
The ability.
And then,
The image in the
Mirror smiled.
