Be at Peace

when the world goes unstable,

hope you are calm.

when the debates turn into clamour,

hope you are composed.

when the lie triumphs,

hope you hold on to the truth.

when the morals of the bureaucrats crumble,

hope you stay put.

when the riots turn into massacres,

hope you provide shelter.

when the frigid winter bites,

hope you provide motherly warmth.

The balancing law of nature thrives,

even after the bloody knives.

The poorest know the truth,

shall the hellish fire burn the tree 

only peace remains the fruit.

even with the endless flaws,

ensure order out of chaos.

Let the ripples of the wave entail,

for the stillness always prevails.

Provide shade to the dove,

hope to the gutted,

love to the aloof,

and

peace to the world.
