Verica Tadić, Serbia
Why are we so indifferent?
when people die in war?
Don’t we feel the pain
when helpless children cry,
and the pain of every suffering being?
Let love win
and to the whole planet a symbol of life,
flag of happiness be,
which friendship celebrates!
Let’s turn on all the lights of love.
Let’s embrace with our hearts all those who
they suffer from injustice
and let’s extend our hands
for the meeting of wisdom.
And some noblest energy
travels through thoughts,
and bring peace and happiness to everyone!

Zašto smo tako ravnodušni
kada ljudi u ratu ginu ?
Zar ne osećamo bol,
kad bespomoćna deca plaču,
i bol svakog bića koje strada?
Neka ljubav pobedi
i celoj planeti simbol života,
zastava sreće bude,
koja prijateljstvo slavi!
Upalimo sva svetla ljubavi.
Srcem zagrlimo sve one koji
od nepravde stradaju
i pružimo ruke
za susret mudrosti.
I neka najplemenitija energija
kroz misli putuje,
i svima mir i sreću donese!
