Peace In An Unstable World

Peace In An Unstable Word Peace as a people is impossible If one Nation has peace another is Hostile Peace for us is unreal Because for one Nation to have peace another is killed We fend ourselves at others expense. For small Portions of peace blood is spent Is this peace I see an Illusion An Invasion of rights with a fatal conclusion Would you call this peace or instability Or people saving themselves to the best of their ability A world fixated on helping themselves Real Peace is a world for helping each other A world where all peoples are considered a brother Each helping another, not hating others Real Peace creates stability Lives are preserved, not token by ill will Rational functions lead to less killed
But different worlds under dictation Worlds where freedom of speech will cause annihilation Where individual thought is impossible by fear of Discrimination Peace in this world? Where, How? In this world peace is unallowed Pain of other worlds is usually unseen Ignorance of lives token for false means People left in pain with hearts to bleed. For as long as cultures stay separated And we hate by accusation Or take others freedom for self gratification Our illusion will disintegrate War will break out and no place will be safe No way to keep life sustained Only then will man seek real peace But by then it will be too late Our world will be over and life will suffer defeat.
