I Love peace

Thursday,16th Dec 2021

 

I love peace

and want to be at ease

no formula or option works

only words come to rescue

 

How can I have a rest in mind?

and find

a welcome with no troubles

I make a strong bid with struggle

 

one thing strikes constantly

the evils have taken refuge pernanently

with little greed, it makes prompt drive

it becomes then mean to survive

 

I have found simple excuse

that no one can refuse

I pretend to be a weak human

and show it in open

 

there is a compromise inside

that decides

whether I should remain at an ease

or leave the idea of having peace

 

the mind is shaky

the move is half-heartily

life can't gain peace internally

so you suffer visibly
