A country without war,
That's peace they say
But the end of war doesn't mean
That peace is here to stay.

Peace is in the happiness of citizens,
Peace is in undisturbed sleep
Peace is in the satisfied stomachs,
Peace is in the minds down deep.

Peace is in the safety of the common,
Peace is in lesser incidents of crime.
Peace is in no corruption or fraud,
Peace is in justice delivered on time.

Peace is in the unity of religions,
Peace is in accepting diversity
Peace is in the fusion of cultures
Peace is in national integrity

Peace is in equal rights for all,
Peace is in protection for the weak,
Peace is in equal opportunities,
Peace is in laws which powers can't tweak.

Peace is in the smiles of innocent children
Peace is in the heart of the nation,
Peace is in the growth of economy
Peace is in monetary security protection.

Peace is in the industrial hubbub,
Peace is in the technology that flourishes,
Peace is in the horizons to conquer
Peace is in the nature that nourishes.

Peace is in the victory against disaster,
Not only the period after a war.
Peace reigns in care of the citizens,
By a nation reaching to help wide and far.
