Fragile Peace
Our planet weeps in mourning
Acid rain falling like tears
Remnants of peace and love deceased
Is there no one left to grieve?

The lust for supremacy prevails
War and calamity its constant ally
Our world on the brink of disaster
Terrorism its funeral pyre

Barely a meagre congregation
Accompanies Earth�s hearse to the gate
Voices united in a dirge of despair
Will no one lead us through the madness?

Shrouded in an insecure veil of fear
Crying out in sorrow for all that is lost
At the graveside of humanity
Our future�s epitaph remains unwritten�

Restore our fragile peace, before it is too late!
