                          THE TWINKLE OF PEACE

	The barriers of peace lay broken
	The peace loving people lay crest fallen
	The concept of universal peace is shaken
	The poetic instinct for peace should awaken.
	
	Shattered and taken aback beyond belief 
	Let us regroup to restore the peace_s leaf
	There_s a saying, pen is mightier than sword
	Let us pierce with our love-filled peace words.
	
	Poems and verses from our pens should flow
	The highest impact on hearts should they show
	Our share of concern for achieving world peace
	Should sway all forlorn hearts, at all the places.
	
	Yes, some self-proclaiming, so called saviors 
	Are provoking and sowing the seeds of terror
	Innocents are made pawns in their misadventure
	What_s the future if they are not derailed here?  
	
	If the thoughtful tears from our mighty pens
	Are not aimed to stir hearts with our concern,
	Even the twinkle of peace is forced to vanish 
	Yet another hope to restore peace will diminish.
