Peace!

By Mohammed Qasem Jami

O’ people, let’s learn what peace is

Pray for it, before we go into pieces.

You can’t buy it or sell it,

You have to give it to get it.

It is to have no fear when we rise,

And no tears in our eyes;

It is to live a comfortable life

As long as we all are alive.

We need to pay for it, before it pays off;

It is to respect human to be respected

Help others to be helped

and

Love them to be loved.

But,

Please don’t fake it if you can’t make it.

Peace isn’t peace by words: the truth, naked.

It is to provide a nation with education;

That goes from generation to generation.
