We dream of peace on Earth; what is this peace
we yearn and pray for in our life? We think
of days when wars no longer threaten- cease
our actions to enjoy our freedom’s link
to all God-given rights of man of Earth.
To live democracy as it should be;
each person has an equal chance from birth
to live without the fear of fight, or flee.
Perhaps we’re not evolved enough to greet
that deep within we are no different than
wild species that engage in fights to eat,
or claim their space- ingrained since time began.
We pray these steadfast patterns, left behind-
instilled in us back in the ancient past,
will mutate to a higher level, find
more God-like ways to deal, make peace at last.
Though many live their days in harmony
with peace and love- the center of their goals,
world leaders bear the cross of keeping free
all nations from disastrous wars and tolls.
This dream of peace, perhaps not in your life
or mine- will this grand miracle ensue?
But still, we march, endure the stress and strife,
and pray that peace on Earth someday is true.
