Joanna Daniel Poet Villanelle

Praying For Peace

Praying for peace around the world
Saying no to meaningless wars
Let love everywhere be unfurled

Let bombs, rockets no more be hurled
Opening hope’s eternal doors
Praying for peace around the world

In harmony’s warmth, let’s be curled
Forgetting about settling scores
Let love everywhere be unfurled

In goodwill’s breeze, let truce be twirled,
Let amity cross troubled shores
Praying for peace around the world

Nuclear weaponry must be furled
Together let’s hide them indoors
Let love everywhere be unfurled

Let’s join our hands, build that dreamworld
Where people are not ruled by corps
Praying for peace around the world
Let love everywhere be unfurled
