I created this poem as to fulfill one of the activities assigned in our class in Social Dimensions of Education. The task was to compose a song or write a poem about achieving peace and harmony. I opted to write a poem since I am not musically gifted.
A Way to Peace and Harmony
Hearing news of war and famine;
Makes me want to go to heaven.
But since I have my life to live;
I got no choice but to strive and heed.
Many times, I prayed for peace;
And often times, I would want to cease.
But since I wanted to be hopeful;
I always opted to be joyful.
There was a time I thought about harmony;
And then I thought it was all about money.
But since money does not make me happy;
I always find happiness with my family.
How do we really achieve peace and harmony;
When people stopped caring about everybody?
Can it be achieve with hope and prayer;
When godly people are now so rare?
As for me, I think there is a way;
To achieve peace and harmony today.
That is to pray to God and believe;
And live our lives to love and give.
I am not good in writing poems but I tried my best to write one. It is hard when you are tasked to do something that requires talent and creativity.
