Peace

1 To hate means not to understand. For fight one side needs to be blind. The rightful judge cannot withstand, To be by mildest hate defined. 5 And can you act if you can't see? A blind policeman on the road. So to wage war, we must agree, You truth must with cold head decode. 9 So which of truths can be the ground, To fight, to kill, to be undone? The only one I come around, Is to bring peace where there is none. 13 I open narrow gates to war, A sole correction to mistake, Do not the last defense explore, For fragile things misused can break. 17 It's better far to sleep the night, To sought the reason over grudge, And to forgive rather than fight, To ask the questions then to judge. 21 They are uncivilized and strange, The land of fathers now is mine, Yet please do notice that things change, What once was water now is wine. 25 Who needs another brutal foe? When he can be your neighbor friend, Only your sheath you need outgrow, And world can be of bloodshed spent. Peter Rangus, Ljubljana 25.10.2015
