First Gong Vol. 8: Thrust FIRST GONG 8 THRUST | Page 33

Peace is interior silence
When all men win their inner war,
when they see all men as their friends.
Peace is freedom.
Peace is when that little boy in Syria, though clothed in ashes smiles at last.
Now he can hug his mama and rest on her thin laps.
Peace is when that little girl in Borno state goes to school passing through Sambisa
carrying her bag over her head, happy, knowing that she is at home and safe.
Rest in peace. Please rest in peace.
Darkness has taken over this space.
With our pace, the peace we all seek will diffuse
the heart that has lost its lock and has left us amused.
Panel.
