In a world deeply shrouded,
By the cloak of daggered war,
We look to our fellow humans,
To end the specter and horror.
***
Only together can we succeed,
For divided we stand broken,
Like a needle on a record,
Skipping round and round.
***
Wish, pray or manifest peace,
In whatever way you choose,
Avoid the drudgery created,
By the tabloid news.
***
Turn your thoughts to peace,
In this dark hour of need,
For war is mostly driven,
By the everlasting campaign of greed.
