Ah, World Peace.
I ask myself if I have ever really known this mirage of promissory peace
That we want to catch
But the farther away it flees.
Do we really know peace
When everything around us reminds us of what peace is not?
The illuminated TV screens blinking with the biased beats and booms
Of the constant noise and the doom that we have created gloriously for ourselves. Our mankind failing men and women alike
Putting on a Broadway show, one after next, to distract from the pitiful reality.
I flick through my brain
That stores the half baked, mugged up pages of the textbooks in the name of education.
I flick through to determine when did we initiate this downfall.
Was it today when the sun was preparing its bed
To fall asleep, curled up in a blanket of dark
While a hungry impoverished family took its last breath in Yemen?
Or wait

Was it too many yesterdays away when the League of Nations failed and the world broke into another world war?
The chiming train engines
Chattering out loud
Anger and frowns drawn upon people’s mouth. There is a constant underlying rage,
Politicians juggling tranquillity every hour, every day. Who’s to light the way
When the people of today
Are bitter from many yesterdays
Too focused on past and future
To create a new dawn today!
