I want to find a place
somewhere very serene
in order to find a solution
to regain our human face?
Peace has gone astray
man losing his conscience
usurping the truth,
displaying acts of violence
and agreeing to war as being a phase.
And life now on this planet
is a virulent warring machine.
I hope to be clear some day
that I was free to claim –
Peace is my right of vote
to declare a truce on war mongering.
Elect a president who deserves a medal
for doing that of peace and diplomacy –
one who meant what he said and acted upon it.
–
Peace is not an ugly word
but a delightful stand,
a human cry for safety and harmony.
