I DREAM OF A WORLD OF  PEACE

By Hafsa Ahmed

I dream of a world of peace

Where everyone is treated equally

There’s no discrimination on the basis 

of color,race and region

I dream of a world of peace 

Where humans are kind to one another and animals

I dream of a world of a peace

Where all children are treated with love and all elderly and everyone 

Is treated with respect irrespective of 

Caste,profession,and race and religion.

I dream of a world of a peace 

Where everyone has a voice to raise 

Against injustice and violence

I dream of a world of peace 

Where no soul or animal passes by

And dies feeling unloved and unworthy

I dream of a world of peace

Where kindness,courage and love 

Bravery and respect are the key to success 

Apart from hardwork and progress

I dream of a world of peace 

Where there would be a possibility of peace and justice 

But I’m stuck in a rather inhumane and unjust real world

I Walk like an open wound 

But I carry scars inside me

No one can see unless I let them 

I walk like an open wound 

Because of the trauma 

I fail to hide 

I walk like an open wound 

Who people consider stupid 

And forget 

Because of the importance and care I bestow them with 

I walk like an open wound 

Because I loved the people 

Who didn't need and deserve my love 

I walk like an open wound 

For the words I hear 

Pierce deeper in my heart than any knife would 

I walk like an open wound 

Because of the longness 

I've endured to be simply

Loved and believed 

I walk like an open wound 

And try not to hurt others 

Because I choose to hurt myself over someone else 

I walk like an open wound 

Fir I am selfless and love too

Carelessly 

I walk like an open wound 

Hiding deep secrets within me 

Not wanting to be disclosed 

For the fear 

I walk like an open wound 

For the wounds in me didn't heal even though time has passed and continue to passes
