Do not think peace is not yours to seek
Nor war is far from where you are
Don’t just stand afar and call it done
 
Both exist as a result of our actions;
The reactions we attribute to our inaction
The factions we direly belong
The corrections we dearly must pinpoint 
 
Horn, call peace a friend and war an enemy!
Be a remedy
Not an enmity
And do not fumble less we all stumble!
Look, look at the nations around as an example
                                                                        And its simple
Which one pleases you?
The war-torn nations or the peace tone celebrations?
You wonder - I suggest you ponder on these
It is the merit of devotion
Not just a mere correlation
Peace, its not given on a plate of ovation
It is the effort of men and women who seek solution
And their good ability deserves emulation
Not individuality but the parity of everyone –
 
Let us work to preserve peace if we have it
And seek for it in bits when we ought to
Son of peace, today there’s an opening for peace ambassador
Are you ready to take it?
