Latonia Sears Poet Free verse

24 Hour Prayer

I would like to challenge the world to have one day of peace
Something this great land of ours really and truly needs

For one day of peace can we show each other a little human kindness
Just leave all the bad memories behind us as we say a prayer in silence

For one day of peace can we say no to anger and hello to love for 24 hours
Just think with our hearts instead of always using our guns

For one day of peace can we truly be honest not as Americans or politicians
Just one single person on this earth that can see what the problem is

For one day of peace can you imagine such a enormous  accomplishment to only
show each other love instead of sin and violence

For one day of peace can we think of togetherness instead of so much separation
be more humanitarian and help heal this nation

For one day of peace are we willing to ignore hatred and embrace human acceptance 
We have one chance at life and I'd rather enjoy it than spend the rest of my life trying to
forget it
