Peaceful Intentions

Peace is a word
that’s treated so vaguely 
People step on peace
while some use it to win 
others use it to sin
Peace is in war
although why is that 
Peace mixed with war
quite unimaginable in fact 
Some in the past used peace 
to help change 
People then listened 
peacefully restrained 
As peace changed the country 
peace was enlightened 
Never to be betrayed 
Never to be taken lightly 
On the contrary 
listen to those who strive for peace 
Always remembering to keep your 
own views within reach 
If you feel the urge 
let your peace out when it is needed 
Never forgetting what peace means 
inside you 
As words said today 
chaotic and of disarray 
Tomorrow peace can change it
possibly defeating it
Teaching those who know 
when to repeat it 
as well as peace being a possible 
bereavement
