Peace Is the Answer

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Violence is in your schools and communities that is the proof
Every tear can be a drop of nourishment 
Each one of us can help to create this critical mass peace embodiment
The absence of war or other hostilities
Evil is lurking that is a fact and reality
Freedom from quarrels and disagreement
Why must we hate and have so much resentment?
Everyone wants to live in a world with peace and free from strife
I know I want joy and love in my life
Pacifism is the opposition to war or violence
So let us keep aggression silence
Peace is shalom 
It still means the same in both verb and noun form
It is the optimum conditions for life to unfold
To the human race it is more precious than gold	
Peace is a source of energy 
It is love, affection and empathy 
It will create health and prosperity 
It is a bridge between love and spirituality 
We should cultivate the mind and bring sight to the blind
Peace in this world is hard to find
More than what any money is worth
I pray to God for peace on earth

"Peace is what happens when all peoples are free to develop themselves in the way they 
want, without having to fight for their rights.” 
—Bruno Picozzi
