Peace



As I look at the sun
I think about wars been won.
Lots of blood has been spilled 
and people felt guilt
to help the war just be done.

Cuz nobody wants the killing.
The taxpayers don't want the billing.
If we all made peace,
the fighting would cease
and the farmers could get back to tilling.

  1. This young poet knows what he is talking about. Maybe he could run for office. He seems to have more common sense than some of the current candidates. Thanks for the post.

  4. There's so much wisdom in Isaac's beautiful poem, thank you for sharing it with us! Just the other night my 14-year-old daughter asked why on earth people waged war "in order to make peace". Indeed.
