Peace!

It's hard to listen to the news anymore

I'm tired of hearing about conflict and war

When will the hatred and the misery cease

Will we ever find a way to live in peace

We are the people caught up in this mess

How we ended up here is anyone's guess

The powerful tell us there is no other way

I beg to differ, prayer brings about change

People ask why a loving God allows this

From every nation more become statistics

People cry and scream out how many more

Flag covered coffins and the reality of war

One day this madness will come to an end

We will stand face to face in his presence

No more missiles will need to light the sky

No more war; the earth will exist no more. Peace!
