Give Peace
A Chance....
The discourse of angry guns
brings naught,
But the cold silence of
the grave.
And each drop of blood
that's spilled,
Poisons the soil it falls
upon.
What chance for Peace to
flower,
In such unfertile ground?
When hate and rage are
given power,
The voice of reason is
soon drowned.
When the acid flood of violence
scours the land,
It withers even the roots
of stubborn Hope.
Destruction sows only destruction,
Death the only peace it
brings.
Sowing war to foment peace
is senseless,
Turn back the tides of
wrath before it's too late.
For only the wellspring
of love and forgiveness,
Has the chance to cleanse
this world of hate.
