MY CONCEPT OF PEACE

MY CONCEPT OF PEACE

Peace! O heavenly peace!

May a drop of platonic peace

Fall into my heart’s restless niche!

How sore it’s been, for so long, to miss!

Where rampant violence is a bliss

Ah! Cruelly crucified is peace.

Where reigns indecent injustice,

Severely strangulated is peace.

Where ugly discrimination is a bliss

Ruthlessly suffocated is peace.

Where gloom and dark glitter

Peace does taste sour and bitter.

Where repulsive inhumanity is a bliss

Helplessly chocked is peace.

Where prevalent is cancerous corruption

Peace suffers from brutal oppression.

Where endemic vice is a bliss

Relentlessly suppressed is peace.

Where immorality gets quick promotion

Peace is lost in illusive hallucination.

Where mean vulgarity is a bliss

Peace is pitifully a waterless fish.

Where vanity is embarrassingly vital

Peace is crippled, feeble and mortal.

Where sucking exploitation is a bliss

Alas! Peace is cut into many a slice.

Where Truth and Beauty are massacred,

Peace is pitably sacrificed and slaughtered.

Where inordinate adulteration is a bliss,

Pierced, guillotined painfully is peace.

Where bloomingly prosperous is sin,

Ah! Peace dwells in a stinking dust bin.

Where reeking hideousness is a bliss

Scampers in shame, to hide, peace.

Where depravity is pre-dominant,

Peace is dull, inert and dormant.

Where ruinous insanity is a bliss,

Wit is cursed, and killed is peace.

Where impropriety does sadly prevail,

There lives peace in a fusty, fetid hell.

Where absence of Conscience is a bliss,

Charred and marred is the nectaric peace.

Where nobility is forced to rot and rust

Ah! Peace is flamed to blast and burst.

Where contemptuous hypocrisy is a bliss

Disdainfully aborted is the priceless peace.

Where he sweet Salvation is a misnomer,

Peace is a dead  carcass, and no more.

* hideousness - ugliness

* reeking – foul smellin, * fusty - rotten

* fetid – foul
