Peace

Why oh why
Must the world be with?
anger and hatred
filling the atmosphere
Guns always killing
Hearts always breaking
Beauty constantly being destroyed
The days become short
The nights become longer
Staying awake, to stay
Safe, sheltered, protected
From the hostility
Only in the night
Then the day
Brings the news
The deadly news
Where is grandma?
She is on the news
A tear I shed
So don’t you see?
What a fist can bring
One little threat can cause some ones life to end
Emotionally and physically
If you take a moment to be patient and kind
Or stop and smell the flowers
A person’s life will be saved
From destruction of fervor or deep desire
