Peace, Only Peace

Dr Ranbir Laishram
Peace.
Only peace.
The weary soul seeks.

World drowned in chaos.
Forged by false glitter of arsenals.
Hollow roar of might.

Valleys scarred by endless fire.
Rivers choked with strife's echoes.
Manipur's hills whisper.
Valley winds plead:

Enough.
Let the glitters fade.

Arsenals crumble.
Empires powerless.
If we awaken from heavy slumber.

Rise.
One world.
One heartbeat.
Let peace bloom like wild lotuses.
After the storm.

Forgiveness' gentle dawn.
We mend.
Shed chains of rage and night.
Souls redeemed in hills' embrace.
Peace reborn.
Our truest light.
