Let there be peace
Let us stop wars
Let nations scrap their weapons
Let us stop killings for peace
Why are there military alliances?
Why are there nuclear weapons?
Why are there tanks and artilleries?
Why more research on weapons?
Let us make a new Bible for a peaceful world
Let us stop interpreting holy books for warmongers
Let us write a new song of peace
Let us rewrite our Bibles for a warless world
Why do we spend money for discussing defence treaties?
Why do we fund peace conferences?
Why do we fund research to end poverty?
Why don’t we allow people to have the freedom to end their poverty?
What did we learn from Kurukshetra?
What did we learn from the world wars?
What did we gain from the Arms race?
What did the poor gain from wars and global efforts for peace?
We fight wars for Arms-makers
We fight wars for military alliances
We fight wars and battles for our leaders
We fight wars for those who negotiate at the UN
Let us chant shanti mantras
Let there be shanti
Let there be shalom
Om Shanti!
