When we lost hope for the freedom and peace <br />there is much more tears shed in our country <br />When all those innocent people lost faith in their leaders <br />there is no hope for the bright future in our country <br />When all those priests become politically motivated culprits <br />then the people lost faith in our worship places. <br />When all those handful of leaders make ocean of wealth <br />by squeezing their poor masses blood <br />When all those saints sit under the temple <br />trees and meditate fake for sins for the peace <br />how could the light of Asia 'Lord Buddha's ' <br />teaching of dharma will help us to find peace in our country <br />Freedom doesn't mean that we can do anything that we want <br />but do right thing at right time to build up a peaceful nation <br />How many steps we walk closer towards peace and freedom <br />but till it will remain an endless journey to find it <br />Let no more war and violence prevail in our country <br />Oh God, let peace and freedom prevail in our country soon. <br /> <br />Ravi Sathasivam / Sri Lanka <br /> <br />Copyright @2007 Ravi Sathasivam<br /><br />Ravi Sathasivam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-peace-prevail-in-our-country-soon/
