Peace

"Peace"

It's time for all to lay down their arms
Make peace with their neighbors
Give up the racism and rigidness that
The world has succumbed to.
Look outside and breathe in the sun.
Accept who we are inside, or change
So that we may be able to live with ourselves.
Go for a walk.
Listen to the peace of the running river.
Break the silence
Learn to trust
Taking each fall in stride.
Give up the burden of anger and pain
Stop living each day as a time bomb
Create your song
Sing to the sky.
