So That We Can Breathe

Terrorism, a continued threat to humanity,
Must be combated, must be precluded
We want peace, don't want violence.

Man horrified of the intrinsic ferocity,
Why killings, hijackings, kidnappings? All dreaded!
Throughout the world, scourge in abundance.

Wary of the archfiend crushing dignity.
The peace must espouse the mankind,
May the peace illuminate the universe.
