Roses



So, eternal I wished to be a human
The world so , beautiful with living
But made hostile by humans, ill minded
Where gone the colours , faded in hatred

God , his mercy given us so precious , a life
The paradise lost , can't we recreate this again
No lies, no revenge, no hatred , love filled
Nature and humans , animals and birds

So sad , volcanoes erupted on the heap of fire
Ammunitions, and hostility raging high
Hither the beginning, wither the ending
Politics of philosophy what reigns and rules

The scents of roses , the hums of birds
Loves rhythms that giveth music to life
Rivers flowing, love travels, hatred together
How to separate the chaff from the roses

The ugliness of hate , the nature got lost
Its charm , the greed of humans prevails
To amass and to rule , where I lost the roses
Roses of love that created the world

Let's bind the world , cutting down the corridors
Let wisdom prevails , openness and love rule
Let the roses of love bloom , crossing all borders
Let's dream  a world of roses , roses of humanity
