Peace

let there be peace in our homes
and peaceful images that feed
desire to hope
let there be assurance in our tones
illuminated by a knowledge of religious diversion

let there be an overgrow of enthusiastic
love in gladness for one another
let there be tolerance that seems elastic
and brotherhood that extends from one to another

let there be an echo undrowned by new voices
an initiation into the love of public opion
let there be removed from us lack lustre
and impacted into us a new poise
the summits of social life in unity
and a march of supriority unto redemption
