Faces That Love Peace
With so much sorrow seen in our restless world on the edge of misery,
it would be wonderful to shake warm hands and see faces that love peace;
why is it that armistice is honored only on Christmas Day...shouldn't it be
on any hour, any day, any year...until all riots and wars completely cease?
Violent and careless world seeking power and domination, put away your hypocrisy
and get rid of all weapons that destroy and cause poverty:
ceasing fire for one day is not enough to erase death and fear;
rinse the blood off your murderous hands and spread the true Christmas cheer!
Who doesn't see a child holding the beautiful world in his hands never trembling...
as he stands by hoping that someone without rush notices him and listens
to a voice so innocent and gentle! Doesn't baby Jesus smile at him saying,
"O child, create that new world where one greets faces that love peace! "
