Need of Peace

A man he was

Who walked the Earth

A diamond in a coal

A firefly in the darkness

A dream he had

To be equal

Equal we are

Equal we will be

A knight he was

Martin Luther King he was

The Peace Connection

Let's make peace together
It's an easy thing to do
Showing love that will last forever
Look within, as peace starts with you
Be kind to everyone you meet
For peace will bind our hearts and stick like glue

River of Peace

Peace is like a river,

rivers are like peace,
simple and so sweet
a place where people meet,
Calm and still,
cool and chill,
running forever,
running together,
such a place,
full of grace,
would be a river of peace.

Dr. MLK...He chose peace

He fought with his words, not with his hands.

He chose peace, and had a plan, to teach every child, woman, and man.

Peace is standing your ground without violence and mishap.

He put equality on the map. Stand up for what you believe is right, but think about MLK and choose peace instead of a fight.

Love Conquers All

Why must we solve problems

By always turning towards vengeance

Why can’t kindness blossom among us

Why won’t we choose peace?

We must show love to one another

Because love will always conquer

We can escape the madness;

United as one.

We can forgive each other;

Our hatred veiling none.

We can come together;

Leaving none to fail . . .

We can seize the moment

And allow peace to prevail.

Need of a Peace

A peace we need

A peace that heals

Like a smile on a frightened child’s face

Like a raindrop on a barren landscape

Like a blooming flower in a desert

Like a healing power in a mother’s prayer

A peace

Oh! A peace
