Where Is Peace
أين السلام
Peace, peace we shout but where it's to be found
Since our thoughts carry our latent motif
And within our rocky hearts selfishness doth resound
In pursuit of comfort and for our material gain
As we beat our wings in the mire and to morality we skip
And willingly shut our hearts' doors to others' pain
To nurture jealousy and hate we too carry lethal weapons
Instead of love we only offer to our neighbour hatred to sip
Since we stuff our hearts not with compassion but with cannons
As our hearts don't house love nor nurture affection
So fear like banyan roots (to our hearts) doth grip
And sets adrift to our peace into a land so forlorn
So peace has'en unreachable to us, a far-flung, distant dream
As we douse ourselves in anger, jealousy and in war we scream.
