Food For Thought

Peace Give to war the children’s play, Guns to gardens, night to day, Hate to neighbor, fear to friend, Peace forgotten, conflict won’t end. Chains to nations, walls to land, Greed to rulers, blood to sand, Silence to mercy, rage to prayer, Peace distorted, none to care. Peace is the breath that calms the soul, Binding the parts to make us whole, Lost when anger fuels the fight, Found when hearts embrace the light. Calm for spirit, rest for mind, Mercy for all, justice kind, Hope for nations, trust for kin, Peace eternal, truth within. Harmony for earth, song for sky, Love for people, none deny, Unity for clans, bond for race, Peace the gift of time and space. Comfort for grieving, balm for pain, Joy for sorrow, healing gain, Strength for weary, light for night, Peace enduring, shining bright. Friendship for stranger, hand for foe, Bridge for division, seeds to sow, Faith for future, grace for past, Peace the bond that holds us fast. Duty for leaders, care for land, Justice for all, firm to stand, Compassion for weak, hope for strong, Peace the anthem, lasting song. Thus the order stands complete, Each to its own, none to cheat, Harmony flows when hearts are near, Peace prevails, far and clear.
