What Have We Achieved



So many killings, so much blood,
So much hatred, so many wars,
So many world organizations,
So many peace treaties,
What have we achieved?
We have achieved nothing
But hatred and more hatred.
No one comes in front of our ego,
I, me, myself!
No one else!!we don't care.
How long will this go on?
When will we stop all this?
It's now. Now is our only chance.
We don't want war. We don't want power
We want peace, peace and only peace.
It's time we take a step forward
And do something for our fellow beings.
Let's all make world a better place -
something like heaven
To live in, happily.
