Last Person Standing

Bullets flying above my head,
The atmosphere is filled with hatred and dread.
Hours of toil, pools of blood,
Bomb shells lying scattered in the mud.

Standing in the midst of violence,
Hoping that the killing ends and there’ll be silence.
Thinking of the days when there was no fear,
Wondering when the dove of peace will spread it’s wings here.

I hope this land regains its lost calm,
And the people loiter fearlessly around.
Why don’t they work for peace as they fight in war?
After all, isn’t it peace that we all want?

Note: This poem was written by me and 3 more of my friends in a Seeds of Peace meeting.

    Sometimes, we have to fight for peace! Sometimes, the realization sinks in only after a deadly war. Like the world war II. When the situation gets that bad, people unite and want peace. When they want it, they do get.

    Destination Infinity.

    it was really really nice :) and to reach silence we need to just stop everything…but in life there are the lulls and the storms…
