A PRAYER FOR TRANQUILITY

When an animal attacks a human being,
We call it wild, ferocious or man eater,
What do we call a human being who attacks another human?

Mothers are tensed when their children leave homes,
Fathers wait for their fairies to return,
Wives gaze out of the window waiting for their husbands,
Why do we feel so insecure?

Violence prevails in the world,
Trust is lost, hatred grows,
Is this what we want?
Or do we want to play safely when it snows?

Why that mother lost her son?
Why that lady's husband died?
Why there is bloodshed?
Why do humans need to hide?

Let's pray that the land where we reside,
Remains safe and tranquil,
Let's cherish each single individual,
Let's spread peace and harmony,
Let's make happiness the way of life!
