Kizuna no Omoi: A Plea for Peace from Japanese Youth

Japanese youth, lend an ear to the past,
Where history's lessons are meant to outlast.
Beneath Bataan's sun, a march so forlorn,
Let empathy and peace in your hearts be reborn.

Nagasaki's sky, once painted in fire,
A haunting reminder that peace we desire.
Innocents' dreams shattered, hopes torn apart,
Choose a different future, let compassion restart.

Ukraine, Russia, a conflict unfolds,
Break the cycle, let your voices be bold.
Embrace the peace within, let it bloom and thrive,
For it's in your hands, this change can arrive.

The damage of war, not just physical scars,
But the wounds on hearts from near and from far.
Japanese youth, sow seeds of compassion today,
So the world can awaken to a brighter display.

The pages of history are written in red,
Yet the power to alter the future lies ahead.
Rise from the shadows, let wisdom be earned,
For only through peace, can true lessons be learned.
