Peace
So expensive
We buy so many weapons
To maintain it.
If we pray more
If we were kind to each other
We could say
We have Peace of mind.
Poetic heart
Call for meditation
Inside our heart.
Peace,
We say a lot
We make nothing.
Peace,
Such as a woman
We adore
But few can get.
Peace,
A value with no cost
If the humans understand the word…
I wish one day….
…….
Peace
We found inside us
We are grateful for every hard moment
Because once the tough will pass.
We will be in a complete harmony with our self
We need peace of mind
We are in a transmission
And everything is going too fast
Information about things we do not need
Advice about how to react
To live
To eat
To breathe
To exist
We are in need of peace
But first we need to understand
What is Peace!
…….
War
Smile not exists
Happiness is stopped
Hungry stomach
Hungry soul
……
Enough
Tired from the bodies
That are afraid of their shadows
I would like to have a man who speaks truth
Who acts
Who believes
In power of love.
