Poem

Peace

We are all children of Adam (), a creation of God,
Why wage war with each other, isn't that odd?

We are all God's creations,
How sad we divide ourselves into nations.

Why fight one another until one's flesh is dead meat,
Why fight one another, as if fighting a beast?

It doesn't matter where we are born,
We shouldn't make each other mourn.

Let's solve our problems without a fight,
But we must also protect our rights.

War, let's just forget,
So that we shall never regret.

One day, we'll surely meet the Divine,
So make no mischief nor crime.

Obaid Ahmed, 8 years
