In the interest of things

I want to live in a world where
every country safeguards
the interest of their neighbours,
helps them flourish and nourish
a fresh style of life to cherish.

I want to live in a world where
those deadly arms and weapons
unfortunately marketed,
manufactured, are preserved
in the museums with a tag
'do not touch' for the children
of the future generations.

I want to live in a world where
money is not wasted on security,
where leaders move as freely
as the commoners, where nitwits
sponsored are liberated to enjoy lives
with their friends, and families.

I want to live in a world where
soldiers fight against the force majeure
where the blue-eyed fighters 
in the interest of things, protect
the flora and the fauna with skill,
not slay and kill human beings.

I want to live in a world where
opulence speaks, poverty leaves
where wars, warfare, battles don't live,
where freedom heaves a sigh of relief.

Oh science, invent technologies
to make this happen for that
would be the truest development
under the tired firmament,  

Oh defenders of arts, cultures, painters, thinkers
poets, dancers, musicians, singers, writers, and authors,
imprint peace in the minds of the
sad, despondent, dwellers
for that would be the texts to prevent
the men, women, children
of our only beautiful blue planet,

Oh religious and political leaders
theists, atheists of the village
change your scripts and scriptures
for that would be the real privilege,
a calling to respond as the saviour,
for that’s who you truly are
to rejuvenate the patient, a moving star.

In the interest of things,
for the sake of all sentient beings
I want to live in a world
where peace isn’t just a word.
