Song of Peace - Arif Khudairi

If we all
Belong to
One father,
And one mother.
If we all
Are brothers:
Yellows,
Blacks,
And whites.
If we all
Are made
Of mud,
And none
Of us
Is made
Of emerald,
Or gold.
If we all
Are the same,
Despite
The size
Of the eyes,
And the color
Of the skin.
If we need
Each other,
To prosper,
To survive.
If we all
Believe in
A power
Beyond ours.
If we are
What we are,
Why then,
Do we fight,
And kill
Each other?
If we all
Belong to
One father,
And one mother.
If we all
Are brothers,
Why then,
Don’t we
Live together,
In love,
In harmony,
And in peace.

Arif Khudairi (born 1948) Egypt
