Peace we live for

By: Amb. Salahuddin Choudhry

P       paramount is the way we choose to live

E       enormity is not one that matters

A       amassing assets non-stop none to give

C       cease all afflictions see nothing clatters

E       eternal friendship community seeks

M      marathon chase we do for love and trust

A       across the world fraternity sure meets

T       teeming and beaming moving pretty fast

T       toward a harmony life indeed needs

E       essence it is for happiness it is

R       recurring happily as gender reads

S       sunshine walking into our lives with ease

U       us trying to build peace within really

S       striving for peace without that comes neatly.
