Peace
Peace
It’s ironic
It’s irenic
So….let’s play a game
we’ll dump out the contents
of 87 different jigsaw puzzles
mix them all up and then
reassemble them
as ONE unified whole.
This must be done without
altering any of the edges
shapes or beliefs
of any of the pieces.
We must also preserve
the integrity and culture
of every empty box
while maintaining
the dignity and ethnicity
of each of the eighty-seven thousand
individual pieces seeking inclusion.
Alas, it would seem
that peace is an
ironic
irenic
dream
