Poem "Tolerance" and "My humble prayer" Ãîä ñîçäàíèÿ: 2000

Tolerance Oh, oh, oh, our world A world of conflicts A world of despair A world of misunderstanding A diabolical world Why all these? There have been wars And rumours of wars Some, due to individual political powers And others, colour differences Being white, yellow and black Does not give the licence to destroy the other colour. Countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Liberia, Sierra Leone etc. Are suffering because of wars Some countries are arming themselves to the teeth Killing people like cocroaches Innocent people are losing their lives Because of wars All these can be solved By tolerating with each other Yes tolerance, tolerance, tolerance How can we tolerate? Come together, understand each other And let peaceful atmosphere prevail Civilization which started from Africa, Egypt Has now been dumped in the waste bin Leaders of this world Be selfless and modest Let tolerance and peace rule Help make the world a happy one A world of felicity A world of hope And let peace endure forever Leaders of this world Create a good and perfect path For we the future leaders to follow Since a thousand mile journey Starts with one step, With tolerance and peace as our aim The world would be a successful one. Leticia Asumeng (14 years) My humble prayer I go to bed every night praying. Praying and praying hard that one day the whole world wake up to find peace. Surrounding the whole world. When shall this be ? Let us swim from the pool of hardship. Conflicts, sorrow, wars and hatered into the pool of love, peace, selflessness and happiness. There is no continent which has peace in it. People are suffering for things they now nothing about today it is. Whites against Blacks and tomorrow it is Blacks against Whites. All these things are so because of bad leadership. Making people suffer for what their parents or ancestors have done is not the key to a better world. Do not retaliate to what is done to you. For a better world, tolerance is the key. We can not continue like this and expect to have a better place for children. Together we can overcome the problem of hardship in our world. Be tolerant and presumption that the world will change to the better is high. Inspite of religious íàçàäground and culture let us come together to help preserve the little left for future leaders.
