Peace©

There was a man I knew of, and his actions

His drive and dedication

I can only hope 

to be like every part of him someday

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 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

To fight is pointless

In the end, there are never winners

For once the battle is over

You stand alone without those you love

So peace is the only answer

Why can’t we just all get along?
