INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE POEM
CEASE FIRE!
How do we find the roadmap
When we keep shifting the goal mark
For we are always at the same crossroads
No matter how hard we trudge across
roads
The road to Peace seems to always
bring wars
Any path of the crossroads is the same
as the other was
“There’s no war that will end all wars”
Haruki tells in Kafka on the shore
So back at the crossroads we come
again not sure
Even when we do find the map
We see the sign and give it a tap
But our attempt to interpret fails
Words of Margaret Atwood weigh heavy
on scales
“War is what happens when language
fails”
Harry Emerson Fosdick spelling out the cost
Of mapping out peace with the sound of
gun shots
As “war does not determine who is
right, only who is left”
No question about how Bertrand Russell
felt
Peace does not have to tread the path
of war
For love is a natural resource so raw
That man can make the world a cure
And deny Plato of his claim about war
That “only the dead have seen the end
of war”
“There are causes worth dying for
But none worth killing for”
Albert Camus’ spoken proof that will not tire
