    About this ebook

    Peace is beyond a want the world longs for. It is a serious need all sane being crave for. With tears of the pen we hound In search for cure to our land’s ailing peace Peace is beyond an abstract assertion or an imaginary utopia people talk about. Peace is real. Peace can really be seen and felt in our society and in our personal lives.
    This book is an assemblage of the voices of dexterous poets from different parts of the globe penning a poetic report of the threat to peace both personal peace and national peace. The league of poets suggests solutions.
    If our world today is howling for peace, to whom does the world cry? Is it to God? Is it to Motherland? Is it to Government? Or is it to the generality of the people? This magnum opus also provides answers poetically to the questions: What is peace? What makes our peace? How can we find peace? and lot more
