This was a great response you wrote for the competition using a selection of words you found in the word search puzzle. I am glad you decided to publish it here instead of entering the contest, so we are all able to read your important poem.
Hi Farah!
This is a beautifully crafted poem, so relevant for the present times. I noticed the inclusion of positive words in capitals, in your lines—Very impressive.
I just wish and pray, that the mindless war, killing innocent people ends as soon as possible, and World Peace and harmony is established.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you John, for highlighting Farah’s beautiful work.
This was a wonderful poem, Farah. The majority of us crave for peace in the world. Thank you for the significant message in your poetry. Well done!
Thank you so much for sharing it, John...and I am also happy to know that you think I took the right decision by posting it here. While composing the poem for the competition, I wasn’t sure where it was heading and once it took a shape I also wanted to share it with as many people as possible and keep it in my collection. Even if I had won the competition I doubt if I could’ve received the price because of the distance involved. The sense of winning, however, is a thrilling experience. Nevertheless, I decided to keep it as mine and post it here. The competition only asks for two rhyming lines using the first word that is seen, so this would’ve been a bit overboard considering the guideline.
World peace is a burning issue right now and I was intending to write on the topic anyway and I am glad that you liked it. Thank you for always being so supportive, John. Blessings for you always.
This is a very timely poem Farah. I pray for peace every day. I really enjoyed reading this poem.
Thanks for posting it John.
A beautiful poem Farah. A good response to the word search challenge. It is peace we all desire. Thanks Jodah for sharing.
Thank you so much, Castlepaloma. I am glad to know you loved it. Stay blessed always.
Thank you so much, dear Pamela. We all seek peace in life, don’t we? I am glad that you enjoyed reading it. Let’s hope peace prevails throughout the world. Stay blessed.
Thank you, dear Vidya, for reading the poem. I am happy to know you liked it. Peace indeed is what we desire in our daily lives. Stay blessed and in peace always.
You wrote a beautiful and timely prayer in poetic form. The vast majority of people on earth desire peace and freedom. That I truly believe. Let's pray it comes soon. Thanks for sharing your poem, Farah, and John, for sharing it.
Thank you, dear Peggy, for your appreciative words. I am happy to know you liked it. Stay blessed always.
Yes, there should be an end to all wars. I am glad that you liked the poem, dear Ms. Chitrangada Sharan. “Mindless wars” is exactly what they are. At the end of the day, it is OUR planet and our own kind that we are destroying. Thank you for your kind words of appreciation. Blessings for you all the way.
Great write Farah.
So glad you didn't enter it into that competition.
Your words speak what we all feel...or at least I do.
Peace...it would be so nice.
Thank you so much, dear Brenda. I am glad we all think alike here and I am also happy to know that you support my decision of withdrawing it from the competition. Stay blessed always.
Surovi, thank you so much for your appreciative words. I am happy to see that we all think alike. Stay blessed dear.

John, your wonderful poem reminds me of a famous quote by John Steinbeck.“All war is a symptom of man’s failure as a thinking animal.”So war is due to our failure to think objectively and being consumed by greed, fear, apathy, and revenge. These are the traits that have again and again doomed...
