I really enjoyed reading your intriguing poem. It drew me in and held my attention throughout. Your description of this scenario was quite thought-provoking and emotional. Your writing skills are excellent and you have a wonderful gift of expression.

I work in Deaf Ministry, so I was immediately drawn to the hands. I enjoyed the implied comparisons between peace and hatred, increase and cease (which also serve as an example of an internal rhyme). Bravo!

I like the sentiment of your poem, and the picture is nice. The ellipses don't feel right though, because it feels like they're making unnecessary pauses. Maybe you could leave the one in the second line to have it be dramatic, but it would flow better if you took out the one in the first line since it continues into a sentence in the second line, and you want "peace" to be connected as the thing you want to be increased, instead of having it cut off from the second line.

Indeed, hatred can't exist where peace reigns. I so wish that your desire would come true, but I don't see it happening any time soon. Nonetheless, we can hope for the best.
Blessings

So much said in so few words. Wouldn't it be great if we could some day have peace? It feels so far away. We need to make this world a better place for our children
