Mankind is facing some serious dilemmas, change is needed either conscious or forced.
Mankind dreams of peaceful life,

Of days of sun, of minute strife,

His prayers for peace though seem to me,

Just words not felt, not meant to be,

If peace man wants than peace he brings,

For change, he must abandon things,

His need for war, his need to kill,

To conquer all, to leave all still,

To share the earth not knowing grief,

To honor those who lived so brief,

Then man will come to know himself,

His being part of commonwealth,

Than man shall see and man shall know,

A man alone can never grow.
