Voice of Peace

You ask: who has the voice of peace? He who goes through the crash of thunder and the murmur of the moon, earful of war and short-lived souls. who has filled graves with tears and touched the tombs of heroes with pride and joy, who has the audacity of saying "no" and lighting up a smile to hatred and scorn, who stands tall before the firing squad and his last word is "the beautiful season is near," with a voice that's distinct, like a drum, and rings in you ears like bells of new year, anchored in hope, a voice of clarity beyond the shadows, above self-reproach, a voice of reason that speaks the truth to power and love to the heart, seeking liberty and justice for all.
