Seeking Peace


Seeking Peace
Sun has descended with the fear of darkness
Mountains and deserts fearing with its sharpness
Plants and trees all in slumber
Wants to wake them from the tools of plumber
My home is submerged in the ocean of blood
Should wake my people to run out of flood
Ah! Shadows are here.

Everyone wants to see a golden ray of light
Through a sparkling diamond hole of sight
Rose is withering and bud is weeping
Life is lamenting and death is whispering
Sweet smell coming from Elysium daffodil
Is now pinching and stinking, a fishy mill
Ah! Shadows are here.

Enormous chasm has fallen in united mountains
Fire of hate is now rising from fountains
Flower that was a sign of a beauty tale
Now has a thorn on its petal and is pale
Black tears of moon falling on the face of earth
And are burning my heart like a hot hearth
Ah! Shadows are here.

Wake up! My people Wake up!
It is time to plant a red flower
   To lead our nation on a way to tower
Brought up our land in the cradle of love
Then we be out of cage happy like dove
Make a bond with the strings of affection
Have to do this for the sake next generation
Yes! Shadows will vanish.

Take the children towards peace, heaven and feast
Our hands must be joined to drive away the beast
A beacon of light and desires should be sweetly lit
To make monster a man and a wishful serene wit
I want to see a fragrant and a calm day of light
In dark and dwindling ways a ray in twilight
Yes!  Shadows will vanish.

Peace for All

Most of the researches which study young people, present youth as a risk or in conflict paradigms. These approaches portray male youth (particularly in developing country) as potential of violence and woman as victims. Such notions highlights male more important and eventually female youth are excluded and are presented only as victims and thus less focused in policies and programs. The present research adopts feminist approach and a qualitative research methodology that studies female and male youth in peace and conflict paradigms and examines power, experiences and actions in their home culture and environment. In doing so, it captures human experiences in their own voices and identifies multiple factors based on their perceptions that can help to create a secure and healthy environment. The research unveils the discriminatory practices and gender differences that create violence against youth (particularly female youth) in cultural, social, economic and politic...
