a long time ago

peace was simply

a multi-colored

rainbow sign

on my folder

or my pencil

now peace seems

more real to my

as i get older

i wish there was more

of this thing

i wish there was more

peace

peace on earth

used to be just

a saying

but now its more literal

peace on earth

literally

everyone wishes war

would halt

like a guilty being

caught in the act

if you really think

about it

your heart

cries.

for peace
