How many buds not succeed to blossom

How many buds not succeed to blossom
and die away, ahead of the famished time,
without a solitary privilege to know,
that they are as beautiful as the snow.

How many infants not succeed to mature
and exceed away, prior than the voracious time,
Without a solitary privilege to know,
that they were created from the God's core.

How many hearts not succeed to adore
and deteriorate, much sooner than the time,
without a solitary privilege to know,
that they were made to triumph over hate.

How many birds not succeed to take off
and walk much sooner than the time,
Without a solitary privilege to know,
that their wings are as potent as the dawn.

How many rivers not succeed to reach the sea
and shrivel up much ahead than the time,
Without a solitary privilege to know,
that they were made to soothe the Earth's thirst.

How many mediators not succeed to cease the war
and become victim of the war, prior than the time,
Without a solitary privilege to know,
that they were send to Earth, by the Lord,
to prevail peace on Earth.
