IN THE NAME OF PEACE by Prof. Dr. Shpresa Delija, Albania

IN THE NAME OF PEACE

I am I

I am us

Like you, everyone everywhere

Whose eyes are always red and scare

Because of the anger and slaughter everywhere.

My face is dirty of the smoke

From the bullets shattering the roads

My heart is torn inside

And you could feel the frozen smile

You could feel the tingling lips

Palpitation and people fainting on the streets

Beseeching for the lost Divine Peace

The Creator portraited for I, they and thee.

Oh, my brain, our little brain

Which has lost its plasticity to reckon again

Instead, it became insane of greed, aggression and violence

Killing babies, and people everyehere.

I try to scrawl with my numb limbs

And strive to see into the blurred vision of my bruised eyes

Where there is no end to go

With no knowing, no thinking

Just squirming along the street

To find where the beauty of my country fled.

And, there is a voice echoing along the endless road

Yes, I could hear: Pray for Peace only for Peace

The only words which were stuck in my lips

To put our broken hearts at ease

To build a new live full of love and peace

For the innocent people who do not deserve

To be sucked by these monstrous beasts.

Oh, please, join me, they and thee

To reestablish the beloved word of Peace

For all of us to live in Liberty and Peace!
