The World Peace — We Cry!

By Joseph Aragbaiye Published 3 months ago 1 min read

Amidst chaos, echoes of peace plea,
Bridges of understanding, let them be.
Cry of compassion drowns the cannons' roar,
Doves of hope soar, war's grip to abhor.

Endless suffering, shadows of despair,
Fragile hearts burdened, yearning for repair.
Glimmers of unity, a beacon so bright,
Harmony whispers, dispelling the night.

Innocent souls caught in the crossfire's dance,
Justice and empathy, let them enhance.
Kindred spirits arise, a call to mend,
Love prevailing, a message to send.

Mournful cries silenced, weapons laid to rest,
Nurturing peace, the ultimate quest.
Open dialogue, a bridge to build,
Pledges for harmony, let hatred be chilled.

Quell the flames of animosity,
Restore the world to serenity.
Seek common ground, let compassion reign,
Together we stand, breaking war's chain.

United voices echo, resounding plea,
Vow to end conflict, let humanity be free.
Waves of empathy washing shores anew,
Xenial bonds forming, peace in the view.

Yearn for a world where swords turn to plow,
Zeal for harmony, let empathy grow.

This abecedarian poem against war advocates for peace and harmony. It begins by acknowledging the plea for peace amidst chaos and emphasizes the importance of understanding. The poem touches on the devastating effects of war, expressing a desire for compassion and hope to prevail over conflict.

Through the alphabetical progression, it explores themes such as unity, justice, love, and empathy as antidotes to the suffering caused by war. The verses call for the laying down of weapons, fostering open dialogue, and nurturing a world where common ground and compassion triumph over hatred.

The concluding lines envision a world transformed, where empathy and unity prevail, turning swords into plows and nurturing a future characterized by harmony. The poem serves as a call to action, urging for collective efforts to break the chains of war and build a peaceful world.
