Let us pray sincerely <br />To show affection brotherly <br />And for the plight <br />Of people with sleepless nights <br /> <br />The people of Iraq face slaughter <br />I do not what the people are after <br />The world watches with gloomy face <br />There is certainly mad chase <br /> <br />Two sects of same religion <br />Fighting for supremacy in region <br />People are mercilessly killed <br />Who knows how many might have been jailed <br /> <br />It is simple butchering <br />There is no peace offering <br />Arms and ammunition is plenty <br />But no words of solace with mercy <br /> <br />How long this will continue? <br />Let idealists write and view <br />There is no end to misery <br />People already suffer poverty <br /> <br />Let us raise our hands <br />For mercy not to force dead end <br />Let them breathe and live peacefully <br />We wish them happy life tearfully<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-us-pray-2/
