A Cry for Peace - Visitor's Poem

by Mehul Gandhi
(Norristown, PA, USA)

Looking in their eyes you can see the pain and struggle
You can see the many years of frustration and trouble
You can feel their hearts crying out for hope
And you begin to wonder, how do they manage to cope
What with all the repression and greed surrounding their world
The destruction and murder that have left them unfurled
The countless assassinations of innocent people and priests
You hope that this anger and violence will cease
And you can only wish for time to stand still
So they can just have one moment of peace and tranquil
But just like the people, you got to keep your faith alive
Believe too that justice and freedom…will survive
