Peace

as i stare in the empty streets
sitting in an alleyway
i ponder why only few people see me

though many people pass
and acknowledge i’m here
some of their hearts don’t agree
they see right through Peace

then, the other people
who actually care
they want the world
to stay safe in the watch

of me, Peace, known worldwide
to try hard to get through
the challenging phases
of life

whilst questioning all my eye can see
i feel clear
to try my hardest
so everyone can finally acknowledge

Me
