ANG SANLIBUTANG KATAHIMIKAN
Kung ang mahiwagang libro ng karunungan,
Ay atin nang nakalimutan,
Kung ang tamang mundo, ay atin nang nakaligta an,
Dahil sa ating kasamaan at kamunduhan,
Sa palagay ko'y hind na tayo dapat tawaging tao,
At tayo ay maihahantulad na sa mga hayop,
Pagkat asal natin ay mas masahol pa sa hayop.
Kung nais nating tawagin tayong mga tao,
Bakit hindi tayo magkaisa?
Bakit hindi natin ibigay ang ating mga kamay,
At tayo ay mag buklod, buklod,
Na parang mga magkakapatid,
At tayo ay iisa, sa kulay, sa panalangin, at katauhan.
Kaya halina, at tayo ay mag sayaw
Halina, at tayo ay mag tawanan
Halina, at tayo ay kumanta,
Sa pamamagitan ng ating pagmamahalan,
Ipakita, ang ating kaaya ayang ugali,
Ang ating magagandang ngiti,
At kalimutan ang kasama an ng sanlibutan,
At bigyan ng pag asa ang katahimikan.

GLOBAL PEACE THEORY / Afzal Shauq
Based On..“a friendly smile is the best weapon of war to fight with… afzal shauq”
***
If and when the invincible book of norms is ignored?
If and when custom of humanity is burnt to dust?
Due to the wicked shadows of greed, lust and other evil doings,
We don’t have the right to be named as human beings.
Rather, we are brutal animals like vultures and crocodiles.
If we truly wish from the heart to be called humans of higher race,
Then we must not shrink when we are called “the children of Adam”.
For once we begin to consider ourselves as sons of Adam
Of this verdant mound, of this dry land, of this circling life –
Then we might also try to answer the ancient golden query of………
“Aren’t we cousins to each other? ” or “Aren’t we all brothers and sisters? ”
Hence, let’s all take initiatives to bridge up the gaps between hearts.
To connect all broken knots regardless of color, creed or race,
Via road to positivity, presenting cheerful aura of glowing smiles.
Respect to one another is a blooming string that ties warm cozy ends.
Letting social life be dance and sing melodiously with the collective actions.
Pleasing, filling, satisfying; the glaring shadows of humanity.
In which it has long been betrayed, jumped out of shell,
By the selfish wand and magnetic resonance of greed!
