WHERE DOES THE SOUL FIND PEACE?
Where the mind is unfettered from the
The cacophony of fleeting steps;
And the heart is uncaged in the digital age?
Where knowledge soars, but wisdom still guides;
And truth is bright through vast technological surge?
Where progress pace with balanced grace;
And not squashing the solace of life and the tender space?
Where the chorus of spinning wheels
Do not silence the rhythm;
Of Nature’s melody as modest and profound?
Where the power of creation steers with gentle care;
And the conscience wakes to the silent prayers?
Where the algorithm bows to the human spirit;
And the quest for meaning never ceases?
Where the horizon broadens in pursuit of peace and harmony;
And no walls and division stand tall against human belief?
Where the soul unbound from past beyond the restless realm;
And breathes life and embraces ecstasy in the utmost sphere?
Where the rivers of ideology flow calm and wide;
And peace prevails and is not lost in the winds of change?
Where the makers of worlds pause and mend;
And hearts reclaim what technology veils?
Where the thunder of progress illuminates through light;
And the beacon of hope in the darkened plight?
Where the world’s ascent does not pay the price;
And humanity survives beyond the shadow of ignorance?
Where the technology serves without making slave;
And pave paths without digging a grave?
Where the soul reveals its hue;
And dream of a world, eternally new?
Where is the peace, the entire mankind needs;
Where is the voice of silence that serenely speaks?
