peace poem

in poetry •  7 years ago  (edited)

war among these nations won’t
ring in peace or lack of pomp
prideful vengeance evil flows
from prideful vengeance equal lows

in time we all will see the face
of those who murdered their own race
shown in dreams of fiery hell
where he be bound forever fell

when will they see that agony
is hence from which what you see
the others do upon to they
that which they done yesterday

resist the goad to exist
in useless vengeance dishonest
untrue to nature’s perfect way
human beings brothers of lay

survival in this world’s enough
without the futile slaughter and bluff
depend on one another and see
how humans live in harmony

peace among the people will
give them strength and power still
to see the worth of a race
given the chance to share a place

upon this day the face you’ll see
is that of friendship of family
peace among these nations’ fight
will shine with bright unending light

and on my face a smile you’ll see
in shallow grave though happily
for warfare’s end what a plan
that can be done with fellow man

all’s required is adherence to
do unto other’s as they do unto you
peace brings peace war brings war
and violence will forever abhor

keep all the acts of evil as such
far from worth your youthful touch
give a voice to peace and be
generations forever free
