Where goes the world of peace that we as children took for granted?
Have we not done enough to this world, its people?
Life, the gift of birth, is a common thread between us all
We must rely on the commonality of humanness in order to save humanity
Else, we falter, we perish in the rubble of defiance, destruction, and disrepair
Where are those leaders that have promised change?
They seem to now cower in their provided for castles
Using the many subjects as shields, breaking the promises they made
Ultimately destroying the hopes and constructing only bitterness
Among the many that allowed themselves to be used as pawns
I challenge the world to join a unified solution
There are so many “International days of” on the internet
Why can’t there be a day of International Peace
A day where the world puts down defenses and offenses
With a hopeful success that would lead to a week, month, years, decades
Let us see children smile again, not see them as subjects
On the nightly evening news
They are meant to carry forth our world
Not be caretakers of the barren and desolate
But to be gardeners of this once green filled earth
