As fear rules the thought of the universe,
With each human counting their breath,
Hoping the next won't be their last.
I walked the surface of the Earth to see what has become of it.

I watched as birds sat on a roof of a factory in Wahum,
listening to the sweet Melodies of their voices.
In Milan , I saw a street without a homeless,
For life of a beggar is now counted useful by all.

The thick clouds covered by fumes in China,
Now looked blue, grey and clear.
I heard a son praying with smiles covering his face,
For he has seen a day where his family can spend time together,
He has never shared a joke with his parents who spends all day at work.

I saw the telephone of an elderly smiling,
Because each day now brings him the call of a son, who once waited to visit home when he hears of his death.
In Italy, I saw the church, mosques and temple,
Opening her gate to all to find solace,
Not minding the religion we proffers.

I saw my neighbor looking through the window ,
hoping mine will be open so she can see my face ,
And know if I am okay or if she could be of help.
I saw the soldiers matching the streets of Rome,
Just to check if there is any with needs.


I saw love walking the face of Earth,
And hatred starving in the minds it once fed fat.
I saw pain, death and sorrow,
But I also saw a world where we share in the pains of one another
Where every life counts,
And where we all work together for a better tomorrow.
