[Vision2020] A Plea for Peace

[Tom Hansen]

A Plea for Peace

Author unknown

Can we begin to understand
The cry of the innocents in foreign lands
Or the anguish shared on our own soil
When death and destruction take its toll,
When peace interrupted is commonplace,
When retaliation occurs at a rapid pace?
"Vengeance is mine," saith the Lord,
But at the lamb the lion has roared,
Suicide missions perceived as valor,
Signs of compromise keep growing paler.
The guns, the bombs, the loss of lives--
Where is peace when no one survives?
Where is righteousness in each barren region?
Bands of rebels form separate legions.
Why can't leaders together agree?
Constant bloodshed does not make people free.
Why can't life be serene once more?
Case and desist the horrors of war!
