Peace -What We Al Long For

Hello 
Shalom
Yasu 
Ola 
Ni hao 
Bonjour
to all of you out there
We are unstable compounds seeking peace
Urban life makes it  difficult to find it
But in the heart of Manhattan
There are ways to escape
There are some fine parks in the ciy 
where one can revel in nature
Tai Chi lessons, synagogues, churches 
Buddhist temples 
are all there for us inthe metropolis 
We all long for peace 
Hold on to your hopes and dreams
They are the keys to the city 
Though few remember that nowadays

We seem to run, collectively, from peace; we also seem to forget hope; you have reminded us in a beautiful way, with this poem.

Like John Lennon said, We should at least give peace a chance." Nice write, Matthew:)
