BY MAY MADI
I chose to write a poem that
reflects the meaning and the idea of peace in my point of view. My message is
emphasizing on how peace takes different directions in life and to show that it
is the most important element of humans’ needs.
Whenever we think about
a symbol of peace, the first thing that comes to mind are birds. The reason
behind this is that creatures from nature are living things that seem peaceful
to us. Specially the bird, only few creatures seem as harmless as them. There
are many historical stories of birds symbolize peace and this history was the
inspiration for me to write my poem.
In this poem I
tried to show the difference of the world’s situation between now and few years
back. I related the identity of peace to birds. The bird represents the peace
that changed around the world. These days peace is a lost concept that most of
the countries lack. At the beginning of the poem I explained how peace can be
found in some places and it also can be lost in others because of humans’
irritation and aggression. While in the second part, I describe the strength of
peace and how it spreads happiness and life in wherever it occurs.
Moreover, I
emphasize in this poem on the idea that nothing ever remains the same. All
situations must change for a reason. Peace can occur in a place for a period of
time, but in our world it can never be permanent. Humans control the world but
the selfishness of the human being is the reason behind the temporary situation
of peace in all the countries. Power, wealth, and dignity are the main purpose
for people to damage this world and get their own benefits.
Finally, in this
poem I chose the bird as a symbol of “Peace”. Behind this poem is a message
that I wanted to reveal to make people value the importance of peace in our
world.
