Wishing for Peace
Finding a Little Serenity in a World Sometimes Gone Wrong..
Imagine peace in the middle east
instead of blood shed
and tears of families.
Imagine peace.
Imagine Peace in the domestic cities
across this great land we call AMERICA!
Imagine all ethnicities getting along
despite our cultural differences
and embracing our equal diversities.
Imagine peace.
Imagine peace instead of hate
which divides all of us.
Trust we cannot get along lonely in this world
without all the gifts and resources we have to share...
Don't you care?
Don't you want to learn how to walk in humility?
Don't you want to live with positivity?
What would it hurt to take a little time
to get to know someone who is not of
your neighborhood or even your part of the city?
Peace instead of pain.
Peace instead of black rain.
Peace instead of myths about youth who
get lumped in with criminals and rapists.
Peace instead of negative vibes that
only divide us.
Peace instead of pre-judgements of people
you haven't taken time to get to know.
Peace, peace, peace.
Imagine what our world would look like
with a little more peace.

Post a CommentI appreciate your words.
I liked this alot!
If I was a parent, it would keep me up at night too.
As a parent that's what keeps me up nights.
Thanks Trish. With this new thing going on, this seems very timely.
We'll keep our fingers crossed.
Thanks Keith. It's just gets a little tiring. But you have to move onnn and stay positive anyway. Thanks again for your comments.
I share your sentiments and the way you express your desire for peace without sounding meek. Some pople want peace only because they're afraid for themselves. There is no doubt about your sincerity. I also liked "Lillies."
