Poem Title:
Poem
I am peace, I am the thunderous voices within that scream to you Cry out to you and tell you not to harm another soul They stem from the infinite connections we share The love hat bonds every human being and every living creature together As our loves grows so should these voices, from quiet whispers To roars in a soundless night I am peace, no longer do the wars rage inside my head No longer am I limited by all my faults, mistakes, and ignorance Now my smile hides no weary frightened little boy, I am a man A man who looks at his world not as something to conquer and possess But as something to defend and make beautiful for all my loved ones So now I look to you little one, don’t conquer but defend Don’t just remove the burdens from your shoulders and the chains from your feet Untangle those chains and lay them straight so that they may not entangle the next man Don’t create chaos where you go, leave a paved road for your sons to follow This world should not be left as you found, make it better Leave a legacy of greatness, not one of ill will and destruction Our bodies fade, our memories fade, but the changes we make to this world are permanent Don’t let a line of broken relationships or a list of petty deeds be the last memories of you Go out an even greater person than you came in, with an even brighter spirit When you leave this world go to your resting place with a smile A smile so deep that no amount of decay can remove it from your face Don’t just be what they expect you to be, be what you know you should Go out not as just a boy but as a man I am peace, therefore I am at peace… be at peace
