Peace's Regret : Md Ejaj Ahamed

Peace's Regret

Md Ejaj Ahamed

O peace, please come into view.

Where are you?

We really need you.

O peace, you are a basic need of ours;

Without you, resources are wasted flowers.

You have left with regret

From the warring and conspiratorial world with upset.

Humanity's tears, the dew's tears are everywhere.

O peace, please come to us without fear

To wipe out tears with a handkerchief anew;

The soldiers of humanity always stand by you.

Where are you?

please come to us with the blanket anew.
