The Cry For Peace

My wishes are many, yet my desires few.

I, born out of the prayers

Of a wish to see the world united,

A time when hands are held together.

I emerged as the guide

From another plea for peace that goes unheard by many.

There is none who can stomp on me.

I will accompany them to see that day,

Like a light at the end of a dreary tunnel.

Love, happiness, trust so pure that it washes away all the gray,

That is my goal that I’ve set for myself,

A guiding light in the times of trouble.

Oh, I’ve seen it all,

This world is so dark that even I sometimes think about giving up on it.

War, poverty, inequality; the list goes on without an end in sight.

Peace is something so fragile,

It comes and goes much like the winter breeze

A glass like fragility that has no place in this harsh world.

It is a simple word that has no definition.

A mere state which can only be felt.

I believe there can nothing be more powerful than peace,

A tide opposing all the darkness,

A representation of the will of people

The answer that can solve all the problems,

And something that embraces us all equally.

The journey has started quite a while back,

The road is long and it is a tedious journey

I have come too far now to give up now,

The light is starting to shine brighter and brighter,

And although I am divided,

It does not change who I am or what my purpose is

For I am that cry for peace.

I am Hope.

About The Poet

CRY FOR PEACE

Aditya beautifully portrayed that the wishes of hope like a raging storm are many…unity of people, indiscrimination among humans, guide a heart through a dark and dreadful tunnel, infuse so much courage that nothing can extinguish the flame of hope. But its only desire is Peace.

Impression: 

Aditya feels that It is amazing how with different concepts of peace, poets could share their feelings in words. This is because poetry is essential in the empowerment of society. Poetry has the special ability to spread important messages in a meaningful manner. Through words it can give voice to its social issues and represent many problems in society today. He ended with the fact that he would he would love to attend and participate again in the Poetic Heart.
