Peace

PEACE We make war That we may live in peace. Show me who won't love to take good tidings home to their people, That they may sleep in Peace. For those who are at war with others Are not at peace with themselves. *Anthonii Chinedum* In our childhood days we heard our elders quote inter alia Ralph Waldo Emerson. 'The real and lasting victories Are those of peace, and not of war.' This peace!!! Many have mistook for religion. And Religion! Is so often The death of reason. The quest for peace begins in the home, in the school, in the workplace And the society. But first and foremost, the heart. 'The most valuable possession we can own Is an open heart.' To attain peace We must actually give our liives, Not just our possessions. When we at last give our lives - Bringing into alignment our beliefs And the way we live then, and only then, can we begin to find peace. Know this! The most powerful weapon we can be Is an instrument of peace. I hope we truly find peace. *godwin henry osaigbovo pa shakespeare* www.twitter.com/godwinhenryo spearepoetryi@gmai.com
