“You came to show us your movie based on 26/11 terrorism, so I just wanted to give a poem on peace.”
—Alyka Haider, Delhi Public School, Jankipuram
Peace Before Tomorrow
The world today is full of conflicts
Peace should come before tomorrow
People dying human suffering
Peace should be nailed inside your heart
Killing and fighting doesn't make today better
It makes life harder tomorrow
Blood flowing like a river
Rotten flesh as high as mountains
Every hour just another pile
Peace should not end by a war
Peace should end by laying down your weapons
Peace today could make guns into flowers
Cannons into fireworks
Peace is what should be done immediately
It is always too late to wait until tomorrow
Because hundreds die tonight
Peace is easy for you and me
And all it takes is to change your mind
Your world could change before tomorrow
And it could be right now
You can see "Surviving Terror" (the video that Alyka is responding to) here. This SAVE film is an 8-minute feature dedicated to the victims and survivers of the terror attacks in Mumbai in November 2008.
