Cruel world

Peace remains a dream

World is so cruel

World is so cruel,

Injustice stains every soul,

Hope flickers, then fades.

Children weep in pain,

Wars consume, hearts break as one,

Peace remains a dream.

Nature's beauty lost,

Polluted skies, dying seas,

Life's breath slowly fades.

Greed and power thrive,

Innocence is sacrificed,

Love's light grows dim.

Yet, amidst the dark,

Kindness shines, a glimmering,

Seeds of compassion.

In the face of strife,

Humanity's strength emerges,

Resilience prevails.

World is so cruel,

But within us lies the choice,

To heal and to love.
