Peaceful Dreams

* For Carol's contest

Peaceful Dreams

Battlefields
     Contradictions to God’s intentions
     Death toll headlines spark contemplation

World without war
     Could such dreams come true?
     Hope lingers in hearts seeking clues

Make it happen
     Extend a loving hand to all nations
     End the tragic conflagration 

Fiery death scenes
     Who emerges victorious
     In battles so notorious?

I dream of peace
     Humanity and compassion
     Enjoyed by every nation

Harmony reigns
     And every life is recognized
     As one with merit, a unique prize

Our Lord’s vision
     Is surely within reach of man
     Black, white, red and tan

Learning to love
     Accepting our differences
     Guided by spiritual influences
