THE DAY THAT ANGER DIED
It was finally over, peace restored
All dictatorial threats now ignored
Even those who fell on their sword
And other blades soon to sheathe
At last, a chance again to breathe
I do recall the day that anger died
Hope, that had been buried so long
Now it was the people’s joyful song
And even learning right from wrong
Seeing the reminders of bloody war
With many memories painfully raw
But was still the day that anger died
Blood first ran hot then quite cold
Their duty to protect, not for gold
The bitter taste of lies all were sold
Now, remember in relative silence
All loved ones lost, in the violence
Yet finally, the day that anger died
