A PRAYER IN TIMES OF WAR
World is standing
On the thin dividing line
Between wisdom and folly.
The store of wisdom
Is greater
Than the bulging store of folly
If we can avoid third world war
It will mean history
Has taught us a grave lesson.
Fighting must stop
Let wisdom prevail…
Let no more humanity bleed
Whose soldiers are being killed
And whose cities
Are being reduced to rubble
I, a part of this earth, feel
The shocks when
Bombs burst and innocents are killed
I weep for all who are killed in this war
And pray for all
Who are alive and survived!
Gods! Spare some more wisdom
Take away the folly
That calls this bloodshed grand.
