Did you ever notice

That there are always two sides?

And when someone tries

To claim neutral ground,

These enemies become allies,

To remove this threat of peace.

-

The peacemakers are few.

They tend to be the worst casualties.

Considering what they do,

Could someone please explain this to me?

-

They came to heal the sick,

But were burned and drowned.

They came with love and gifts,

But were robbed and beaten down.

-

We come with open arms,

Wishing to find peace.

Their eyes were filled with war,

And in their eyes, saw we were weak.

-

So how have we survived?

Why are we still alive?

Wars wage and people die,

But love is everlasting.

Humans kill and shred their souls,

But we believe and sing.

-

We smile and bring love,

But, still, are turned away.

The peacemakers try to work,

But are beaten and taken, night and day.

-

Does anyone notice,

That though we come,

We do not always leave?

The wars will wage and bring more death,

And then it goes away.

-

But who will stay

And heal the sick,

The wounded and the lost.

The ones who at first were turned away,

But never did give up.

-

Blessèd are the peacemakers,

For they are the brave.

They are the ones

Who face the greatest pains.
