There was a man I knew
Not in person
But by his
actions
drive and
dedication
I can only hope
to be like every part of him
He fought for world peace
He truly believed we all belonged
here together in the same place
with the same rights
with the same means
He sacrificed everything
in a sense his whole life
He wouldn’t have done things differently
He wouldn’t have known how
Peace is what he wanted
Peace is what I hope we can all find
The fight is pointless
In the end there are never winners
For once the battle is over
You stand alone
Most often without those you love
So peace is the answer
Why don’t you just get along
