Thirsty For Peace

Do you ever get thirsty?
With a cup that's half empty
I believe in the waters of endless oceans
To me peace has a special movement and motion
It has grip on you, you feel the strength, but it's your addiction
I have a thirst to write
A desire to inspire and excite
As my penned words of agony meets prosperity
So many people are lost and lonely 
We write to feel like we belong 
Together as one we can stand strong
I am a prayer, and I am a song 
When we work together we can’t go wrong
Yet we waste our lives away hating
Instead of peaceful living
There are no days too dark, light cannot see through
This is for those of you who have dreams of peace that never came true 

1 Peter 3:11 They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.

“Pit race against race, religion against religion, prejudice against prejudice. Divide and conquer! We must not let that happen here.” 
? Eleanor Roosevelt
