poets for PEACE

@FadingGenes

Peace is,

Just letting it go

Not holding grudges

But sharing the love.

Peace is,

Being able to look

Over the window sill

And not just seeing a black hole -

Craters carved into the innocent Earth,

Mothers dead before they could give birth.

This is not peace - this is unjust -

Such a sin - it boils the Devil's blood.

She receives a letter

And they tell her -

Your husband...

died in combat ma'am.

But in her heart she knows

He lies faceless

Alone -

Dead in a six foot trench.

How can we be expected to believe -

As logical, free thinking people -

That these actions are to bring 'world peace'

When it feels more like World War Three?

Let's stop the killings

Of innocent civilians

Let's embody the definition

Of being a real human.

Let's all lend

a piece of humanity

Let's all end

This war of animosity

Let's all have a voice

louder than the ammo of wars

A song that drowns out the noise -

A song that fills all our hearts with love

And advocates peace on this beautiful Earth.
