Let Me Survive

Let Me Survive
by Rizwan Ahmed Memon 

(This poem is for those people who have suffered or are suffering from wars in their countries.)

Bring me peace
So I can live a little more;
Bring me flowers
So I can feel life’s colors. 

Destroy me no more
I want to live more;
Let me live
Let me survive.

Oh, people pray for me
That God may give me patience;
My loved ones are killed
I am made orphan.

Oh, humankind have mercy
Fear from God;
And think we are humans like you
Let’s not destroy one another.
