Commentary on Violence

A chapter in the book National Poetry Month

Why not Peace?

by dejohnsrld (Debbie)

Why not Peace?
 
Today, the world seems an endless source of violence
Perhaps, if we each took a few minutes of silence
To consider how if we cared and tried to get along
What a loving world we’d have and so very strong
 
Too often religious differences are the cause
A thought that should make us stop and pause
To think just how much damage discrimination
Does both within and between our nations
 
If we spent as much time strengthening society
And making the care of others our priority
As we do in building up our military
We could inhabit a world of solidarity
 
Isn’t there hope for agreement and peace
And our attitudes of distrust and hatred to cease?

Not just between countries, but even within our own. Forty-eight children 16 or younger were shot in Chicago last weekend.
