Keeping on the theme of peace, here is one of my poems on peace.
Peace! What catalyst begets its demise? What besets man and nation where peace dies? We, proud and selfish; hate brings our discord, We abhor our neighbours, draw the sword, We use religion to pit man against others, We in self-righteous piety have no brothers. We’re conduits that thwart peaceful creation, Man, the bullish Gurzil wars to his damnation! Peace! Where are the peace-loving Mandelas? Replaced with warlords, the latest Mangalas; Strive for eternity, zeal outweighs faith, Empires on heaven and earth; peace we scathe Forget love one another, carry our brothers, Envy and selfish ambition, it smothers. With scowling fervor and blood lusting cries, Slaughter God’s creation watch as he dies. We obliterate man made in God’s image, Heralding the Almighty’s righteous rage. Peace Answers
WISDOM calls, “Listen, I speak of noble things, Peace I bring to you, not as the earth brings. Come Prince of Peace, a millennium reign, Unity, reunion with God and man now gain. Children laughing, playing in quiet streets Where lamb and lion, in harmony meets, Where weapons fashioned to plough shares, Selfish desires gone; each brother now cares. Fear vanquished, wars relentless onslaught stilled, Hearts with love for one another now filled. Come, thou eternal kingly Word Supreme, Peace, that elusive dream is the King’s regime. Consider the Prince of Peace, evil He stills, Peace, incomprehensible, He instills.
