Stop the pain
Beating in his heart again
Stop the fear
And make it gone
Take the time
From the cell phone, TV,
Dead end peace talks
Take the time
And make it gone
Wipe her tears
Child of no one desert calling
Wipe her tears
And give her hope
Teach them all
The ones who live there
And their callers
Teach them all
To realize
Hide your lies
Painted on pictures smiling children
Hide your lies
And tell no more
Give them hope
Those who anguish
You who trifle
Give them hope
And step aside.
Poems of Peace: Darfar and Beyond
Poems of Peace: Darfur and Beyond reflects on the American Dream, the global situation and the resilient nature of man. It embodies the notion that peace is not only a goal, but a means to the goal that is peace. Passionate, heartfelt, hopeful and desperate—this diverse collection of poems touches on the emotions and complexities of peace within the world today. “One of the most persistent ambiguities that we face is that everybody talks about peace as a goal. However, it does not take sharpest-eyed sophistication to discern that while everybody talks about peace, peace has become practically nobody’s business among the power-wielders. Many men cry Peace! Peace! But they refuse to do the things that make for peace.” —Martin Luther King, Jr.
