midnight in the garden of peace

international poetry antology
How can you?
How can you bear the cry of a child
what trembles from cold and hunger?
How can you bear the weight of death under armor?
How can you see homeless families drowning in pain?
Even the tired mountains are on the verge of exhaustion
I believe in tomorrow to discover hopes
in places hard to find
In every corner of the world, a man is dying of tears
You dream and hope for peace on earth, when some
I think with my soul and dark thoughts
I would like to pretend to be a tree with many branches
to protect those in need, to be able to provide
tomorrow's safety,
To bring a ray of sunshine closer to comfort our lost souls,
Let's bring smiles, joy and peace to the soul.
Let's change this destiny, let's be united and love each other.
Look beside you and help a troubled man.
