A poem on Peace

To lead hope-filled lives,

we need peace.
To lead happy lives,
we must prevent war at all costs.

The purpose of life

is to become happy.
The purpose of life
is to fight against
and triumph over
the darkness of misery.

Those who inflict

pain and suffering on other
are wretched inside.
Those who
win over themselves
are happy.

I, too, advance
with hope in my heart.
I advance
with joy and vigor.
I will not be defeated!
I will not give up!

There is something vaster

than the wide open sky
and that is, my life.

There is something deeper

than the fathomless sea
and that is, your life.

There is something more precious

than all the treasures of the
universe
and that is, our lives.
That is why
we must not condone
unscrupulous actions that harm
life;
we must fight resolutely against
the devilish forces that seek
to destroy life.

Nothing
is more barbarous than war
Nothing is more cruel.

How many tears

have mothers had to weep?
How many precious seasons of
youth
have been ruined?
How much happy laughter of
children
has been stifled?

Change history!
Move the age!
Bring the world together!

If winter comes,
can spring be far behind?
Now is the time to vigorously sing
a song of the springtime of peace.
The deeper the darkness,
the closer the dawn.
Now is the time to sound the bell
heralding the dawn of peace
with all our might.

There is a path that birds follow

as they fly through the sky.
There is a path that fish follow
as they swim through the sea.
There is a path that the stars follow
as they travels the heavens.
And there is a path of principle
that human beings should follow.
This is none other
than the path of peace.

Lets begin with

what we can do.
Lets move forward,
even if just an inch.

Lets climb that mountain,

and cross this river!
Lets dash over those fields
and traverse that hill!
Lets race to that town
and talk with our friends!

We are ever filled

with bring confidence
that wonderful like-minded friends
will someday follow
in our footsteps!

If you have no hope,

create some.
If the world around you is dark
be the sun that illuminates all.

Happiness
is not something we attain
by chasing after it.
Happiness
comes to those who live with
courage and tenacity.
Similarly, peace
will come to human beings
when they lead lives
of wisdom and principle.
Peace
is not something far away.
Peace
is caring for and valuing
a single individual.
It is bringing joy, not suffering,
to our mother.
It is reaching out
to those who are different from
us.
It is having the wisdom
to reconcile after an argument.

And it is protecting
our beautiful natural world.
It is fostering
a rich culture.
It is refusing to build our happiness
on the misfortune of other.
It is sharing
others joys and sufferings.

Those who can

bring happiness to their friends
are experts in the art of
happiness.
Those who can bring peace to their society
are emissaries of peace.

Peace
is the brilliant light
that humanity seeks.
Peace is the sure path
to a life of true humanity
and dignity.

Peace!
Peace!
here we find the foundation
for lasting human happiness
and the joy of true human victory.
