Letter-Poetry to World Leaders

Adão Wons

To the leaders of the world,

In the name of humanity, we cry out for peace.

Cease the wars that take innocent lives.

Think of the children, the mothers, the fathers,

The broken dreams, the tears and the groans.

Power is not worth human life.

Ideologies do not justify cruelty and pain.

Future generations will inherit a devastated world,

If we do not change the course of history.

May empathy, compassion and wisdom,

Guide your decisions for a better world.

Unite for peace, justice and love,

And build a future where everyone can live.

Signature:

A citizen of the world, for a united humanity.
