“A Poem I Wrote For World Peace Day”
Peace, Please So that our scars may close Like the bud of a rose, and that Our bruises may have the time to compose Lamenting poems and sad prose Peace, Please So that our children may freely roam Across their lands with assurance and safety Under the benevolent eyes of what's earthly Extending their lives, and die naturally Peace, Please So that we can all live in harmony And forget past lives fueled with fatality As we see a future build on fraternity While finding our own joyful remedy Peace, Please So that blood ceases to flood the soil So that our earth stops to cry upon All of these innocent lives we’ve lost In these battles that were never ours Peace, Please So that our hearts can finally heal And see existence as it ought to be seen As through our own healing Sustainable peace can finally be achieved. -eiravel-
