[Poetry] One Moment of Peace

Just One Moment of Peace is All I Want;
Even if it is the last moment of life;
Even if it is all over after that;
Just One Moment of Peace is All I Want.

How easily we hide our feelings from others;
But can we ever hide ourselves from us?
How easily we pretend and fool the world;
But can we ever fool ourselves?

Just One Moment of Peace is All I Want;
Been shedding tears for decades now;
But hardly has a drop descended from heaven;
Just One Moment of Peace is All I Want.

It is not that only I am heartbroken;
It is not that only I am filled with anguish;
All around I see those wanting to end the chaos within;
They all want: Just One Moment of Peace.

Once we subject our corpse to the earth or fire;
What else is there left of us?
I am not worried about death or life thereafter;
Just One Moment of Peace is All I Want.
