       The Figure of Peace

      By Hebe Mitchell, from Cyprus, UK

      How still though art,

      In peace though depart,

      No more sorrows thou shall know,

      No tears, no grief,

      Just joy where you go.

      We poor beings are living in hell,

      But though the heavens of Earth now shalt tell,

      As we stand here we plead,

      Just one word do say, up there are thou gay!

      No answer doth come from that figure of Peace,

      Nothing but silence that mocks us to cease,

      And so we shall wait until we do die,

      to meet our dear friend in the heavens so high,

      Till then we must live through this world full of grief,

      Trust in God and be strong.

      In our only belief.

       The Drummer Boys of Peace

      By O Anna Niemus

      Mercy's peace

      has her own drummer boys..

      they tap out their beats

      on metal pots

      Peace has her flags

      … the leaves in the wind

      They are the flags of 1 nation

      and of all.. all for one

      one for all

      She has her orators

      … the babbling brooks..

      the waterfalls' roar

      .. the rivers' murmurs

      the seas' omkar

      (Omkar: repetition of Om)

       Smile a Step To Peace

      By Marvin Brato Sr, from Philippines

      Man is thought to be tough,

      Inside-out… rough!

      Cast as a man of steel,

      A fighter…

      Equalizer…

      Lover.

      Joy is in my heart as I live on this land,

      Often zealous if my honor still stand.

      Human sometimes does not mind what others say,

      Nor I care if ever they do not like to stay.

      My concern is only peace & prosperity,

      Amongst all men in this confused society.

      Rebellion is not an ultimate to protest.

      God's mercy & guidance shall put to rest,

      All our sorrows and discontentment.

      Talk peacefully to settle hated arguments,

      Or just mainly start an honest smile.

       River Roads of Peace

      By Paul McCann, from Ireland, Belfast

      Poetry like ploughshares have dug the dirt away

      opening a road on blood stained hardened clay.

      Earthened shells buried deep in different hollow holes.

      Guests of war remain at peace.

      Heal their souls.

      As we have forgiven those may they forgive us.

      Our hatred is uprooted.

      Peace lies in the dust.

      Cornered not by chains or imprisioned by the guilt,

      peace is like a river that washed away the blood we spilt.

      Etched into forever our souls will someday be,

      in the place God reserves for you my friend and me.

       Poem for Peace

      By Frank Bana

      There is much peace in this young planet

      Whenever we’re amazed and silent

      There is more silence than yet encountered

      Where we command our traffic to a halt

      More energy than we have manufactured

      Is generating in our resting

      The music to affirm our species

      Is infant in the frets on our guitars

      It will be a necessity, a hunger, to embrace

      And occasionally to suffocate, the chaos

      To dream new revolutions, smarter

      Than the ways of fragmentation in which we’re led -

      Revolutions weaving all complexity

      Into a fine and trusted net,

      Of safety, method and community

      That is simple, and at peace, at last.

      Future children and other people:

      You may not realize this peace or hunger,

      And as I am no seer, I propose

      In one day, or world, it will appear.

       Peace, Peace, Peace

      By Viola B. Jelinek, from Madison, Tennessee

      In the Bible-God says, let there

      be peace among all nations.

      Peace is something to cherish

      and behold…whether in heart

      or in soul; peace in Spirit, and in

      mind…gives us the feelings to be kind

      Peace among group's …minority, black

      and white…leads us to do what's right

      Peace in our cities, homes, and towns

      is what we all need…if it can be found

      Peace in the world…among all Nations,

      is just what we need for self-presentation.

      Peace in our lives, with family and friends

      Will help make us all ready… when God descends

      But there can be no peace, without,

      "God's intervention", so let us all

      "Accept Him, " and have a world convention.

       Peace Seeker

      By Shimon Weinroth

      I am a sucker for

      rumors about peace

      treaties and cease fires

      willing to believe

      what I want, to come true

      the slightest hint an armistice

      is in the makiing,

      perks up my spirits

      ignites my hopes

      already I am making plans

      it'so easy to fool
