Peace Is the Answer

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Violence is in your schools and communities that is the proof Every tear can be a drop of nourishment Each one of us can help to create this critical mass peace embodiment The absence of war or other hostilities Evil is lurking that is a fact and reality Freedom from quarrels and disagreement Why must we hate and have so much resentment? Everyone wants to live in a world with peace and free from strife I know I want joy and love in my life Pacifism is the opposition to war or violence So let us keep aggression silence Peace is shalom It still means the same in both verb and noun form It is the optimum conditions for life to unfold To the human race it is more precious than gold Peace is a source of energy It is love, affection and empathy It will create health and prosperity It is a bridge between love and spirituality We should cultivate the mind and bring sight to the blind Peace in this world is hard to find More than what any money is worth I pray to God for peace on earth "Peace is what happens when all peoples are free to develop themselves in the way they want, without having to fight for their rights.” —Bruno Picozzi
