PEACE - YU NA CHOI
Peace,
For a word so deserving
Yet under this society,
It never finds its light.
An America - once shining its bold colors of
Red, White, and Blue,
They all stood together
At the flag that declared our independence.
In 2016, we stand more divided than ever
Trembling in fear of
Bigots and Racists,
Boycotts and Protests - violation of our rights.
We’re given a name, by which we are classified
Black or White?
Christian or Jew?
Republican or Democrat?
But no, we are not humans of color,
Of religion,
Of political party,
We are simply human beings.
United as one race.
What have we become?
For we have shamed those that fought for our
Republic, where we the people
Have the power - the power for change.
A society gone mad,
Forgetting the greatness our country was built upon
Blinded by words of the media
Shattering bits of hope and visions for our future
What can we do?
For we at war with our vices,
Reunite
Stand tall,
Be heard.
Peace
A 5 letter word
To which we must abide by
Be at Peace
With our Neighbors,
Our Friends and Our Foes
For it shall find us a better man, And a better tomorrow
An inevitable struggle for the human race For an act so great May there be peace to all And to all a good night.
Shalom
