Let's not fight any war today
Let's not die today
Let us all live one more day
Let us steal a day from the clutches of death
Heaven can wait for one more day.

Let's enjoy one last meal with our loved ones
Enjoy our favorite movie one last time
Dance to the tune of our favorite songs
Visit the place where we have first met our soulmates.
Let us make it the best day of our lives
And finally say goodbye to one another.
Let's just live one more day.
Before death comes to take us away.

Once there was a black princess.  
Everyone thought she was cursed .
No one loved, nobody cared.
She grew up all alone.
She was brave and kind .

She fought and fought,
refused to just survive.

She fought,
never gave up.

She fought and fought ,
till her voice was heard.

She became a warrior princess,
leader of her army.
Won many battles over the years.
Her bravery was acknowledged,
even by her enemies.

And when it was time
to sit on the throne,
she became a noble queen.

I am not what you wanted me to be.
I am not what you thought I should be...

Not a scientist,
nor a teacher.

Not a doctor,
nor an engineer.

What am I?
A trailblazer...

I do not follow,
I lead.
A stormy night
I was drawn towards the waves
You pulled me back to the shore
So worried that I would drown
You held me tight
till it was dawn.
Not by the mean faces
I see everyday ,
who smile
with a mask on.

Not by the harsh voices
I hear everyday,
that always
pull me down.

But by the unseen faces,
by their unheard voices,
only their words-
the wisdom within...

I am inspired.
WAR
What good does a war do ?
Taking lives of civilians and soldiers alike,
destroying livelihoods.

What good does a war do ?
You killed my people, I killed yours -
the cycle goes on and on .

What good does a war do?
Fighting for a piece of land-
what good is a piece of land
if all your loved ones are dead ?

What good does a war do?
Polluting air , damaging crop lands -
what good will it do if you have poison to breathe, no food to eat?

Don't we have enough
cause to fight-
climate change, global warming, ever -rising pollution?

It is not the time to fight each other but to stand together with each other.
Gone too soon,
too far away,
far beyond reach,
without saying goodbye.
Only memories are left now.
