abusing another human being.

      When your commanding officer

      says that you must torture…

      There is no justification,

      for abusing another hu man being.

      When someone belongs

      To another race…

      There is no justification,

      When someone expresses love

      but it does not look the same as mine…

      There is no justification,

      For abusing another human being.

      When your loved one lies and cheats…

      There is no justification,

      for abusing another human being.

      When gossips lie and ruin your reputation…

      There is no justification,

      for abusing another human being.

      When you feel disrespected,

      want to start a brawl…

      There is no justification,

      for abusing another human being.

      When someone is poor

      for abusing another human being.

      When we completely understand

      this concept and practice it in our lives

      We will have peace.

       War Can Never Bring Peace

      By Dinesh Sharma, from India

      War can never bring peace

      I wish I could stop this war

      I wish I could stop all wars

      please stop this war

      Your bombs are killing life

      That we moms spent months to make

      And years of love to nurture

      Is it all in vain?

      War can never bring peace.

      Can't you feel the sorrow of mother?

      Who lost everything sunday last!

      Can't You hear the crying of loved ones?

      Can't you see their tears?

      War can never bring peace.

      I am afraid of TV

      I don't dare to switch it on

      Coz it brings so much pain home

      Coz it brings the sorrow home

      Oh! please stop all wars.

       True Peace

      By Walterrean Salley, from U.S, Savannah

      Folks greeting those they meet.

      Children playing in the street.

      People working hand in hand

      For the better of the land.

      Atonement with the great I Am.

      Lion resting with a lamb.

      World leaders shaking hands—

      In truth —not because they can.

      Sacrificing at all cost

      To minimize potential lost.

      Such, the face of true peace,

      Would bring the world much relief.

      May strife and fighting ever cease

      And “true” peace be increased.

       Transitory Peace

      By John B Hayes

      Oh yes I remember the time

      When all was well with me

      I would hear the clock chime

      After I had had my tea

      I was at nana’s house

      A place of sanctuary

      No more for me the madness

      Outside that haven of sanity

      Oh yes I remember the time

      When we had to leave

      I cried and hugged my nana

      Her love I could perceive

      She wiped away my tears

      A little boy so naïve

      Swept along the way

      A lifetime yet to retrieve.

       To Peace

      By Dr. Tulsi Hanumanthu, from India

      O Peace! For ages haven't we invoked

      Your grace by chanting your name ceaselessly?

      We're sorely tired; our voices are choked:

      Must you still evade us mercilessly?

      What will you accept as our libation?

      In vain we've offered you, at various stages,

      Of Faith and Hope a sweet distillation.

      'Labour' too failed to win you as 'wages'.

      Ah! You're too precious to be won cheaply!

      For you costlier things we need to barter.

      We must place, one by one, successively,

      The rarest things at your holy alter-

      These being Love, Sacrifice, Selflessness,

      Compassion, Contentment and Generousness.

       Time for peace

      By Maria C. Pires Costa, from Portugal

      Oh, Manhattan!

      How exciting and magical you were yesterday!

      With your tall, magnificent buildings,

      Far from this catastrophic view -

      Great pain, destruction, and all dark smoke

      In today's morning so grey!

      Innocent people lie around You now.

      Their cries keep being heard, though.

      They have left an urgent message

      For all of us to be humble and wise

      And to let solidarity fully grow.

      Thousands of hearts riven by grief

      Spending their days in distress

      Just longing for a time

      Bringing all the world nothing better than Peace!

       There Will Be Peace

      By Jeff Fleischer, from Kentucky

      There will be peace.

      Do not fear.

      From your eye,

      Wipe that tear.

      There will be peace.

      Do not worry.

      Just do not be in
