Searching

Searching this world for sanity,
Looking for an oasis of peace,
Trying to find it.

So much violence in the air,
War, hatred, prejudice,
Disrespect of others, disrepect of others' culture,
How can there be peace when hatred is so rampant.

Maybe I expect too much of my fellow beings,
Maybe peace can never be achieved on earth,
Maybe the only peace can be achieved within.

So I will first find the peace within,
Then I will let it radiate out,
And hope that it will multiply.

But I can never stop dreaming,
I can never stop searching for peace on earth,
Maybe one day I will find it.
