Peace

See the truth now as violence spreads, Watch fear endow the dreadful dread. See fear project such angry facts, Watch self-hate trek where madness acts. See inner pain consume such fires, Watch how disdain lifts hate that sires. See hurts that hurl such evil hate, Watch a mad world where pain creates. See corrupt ways plunder and scheme, Watch wicked days unleash harsh themes. See fear sow dread and reap fine gains, Watch the afraid stab goodness plain. See a mad race of conflicts grow, Watch time and space embrace sick show. See all bad things with eyes that weep, Watch how love brings a healing deep. See beyond ills to a fond peace, Watch sure goodwill forge a bold ease. See grace profound plant beauty bright, Watch a changed ground where love puts right. See now and here how faith weaves hope, Watch for good cheer that frames bold scope. See goodness flow to heal our wounds, Watch for that glow as peace now prunes.
