Peace Wounded

From the furious wars of hatred
To the depths of bloodied oceans
Children witness the savagery
The aged watch their dreams vanish

Piles of bodies, torn to shreads
Burnt, tortured, decimated
Seen with innocent eyes of youth
All across the earth, from East to West
From North to South.

Brothers, and fathers in civil wars
Mothers and daughters, subdued in tears
Leaders fill the empty halls
As others build concrete walls

The rivers are running dry
The air is dim, the sun rise lazily
Heading back in time before industries awakening
The poor are getting poorer, starving, dying

Peace is wounded, the white dove's wing broken
Peace is crying, for nobody listens
Peace calls out for patience
Peace asks why we hate each other
When love is the greatest gift of all
Peace demands we lay down our selfishness
And walk together, live, and share our world.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)
