Your Order for Peace on Earth

Since Amazon has almost everything,
I placed several orders for Peace on Earth.
I hoped the shipments would arrive in time for Christmas.
I even paid extra for overnight delivery to Gaza and Ukraine.
But, alas, angelically voiced Alexa announced
that promised Peace on Earth was out of stock.
Easy earthly peace is elusive,
found in nobody’s shopping cart.
We'll need to work together
to deliver peace ourselves.
