To Peace

The notches on a butt of a gun 
Sometimes make peace difficult to find 
For some take it as a credit 
To take the lives of a hundred 

When will all mean realize 
It's not an honor to take life? 
We live no more in the wild west 
Nor in the ways of the ancients 

Better it is to make peace thrive 
And receive our compensation 
When our children will make a life 
That is free from subjugation 

For he who wields peace 
Will live without fears 
But he who seeks mess 
Will die without relief
