☮️

A circle and three lines

Put everywhere the sun can shine

Left and right, big or small,

Short little houses and buildings tall

We know the symbol, we’ve known it for long

But do we really know its sweet song?

A song  that people have died for

A song that people have cried for

It rings true someplace, not in others 

Among friends, countrymen, and lovers

But we don’t know its true meaning

The truth behind all of the cries, deaths, and screaming

We all want it, but it is a different kind of greed,

It is something that we all truly need

It can flow like a river through your heart

Or it can be empty, even from the start 

One thing of which this world is in need 

More than rage, war and greed–

Peace
