Peace

Where is peace today?
It seems that intolerance is in the way
Peace is locked away in each of our hearts and homes
But hatred and anger are free to roam
Ignorance is what makes us fight
One another from day to night
We end up pumping each other full of lead
But in reality we all want peace to spread

What is peace?
Peace is a feast, for a hungry man
It is also comfort, for those in need
It is help from those who can
Give something without any greed

Peace is also found within oneself
A purpose in life
Feeling good about your deeds
And being happy with what you have

Peace is something
That manifests in us all
Sadly, we cover it and keep it hiding
And instead go out for a brawl

Sharing peace is the only way
To spread the word, can save the day
When life is peaceful, We each have done our job
We got rid of intolerance
And reached out to someone else
