PEACE AND LOVE


He isn’t a stranger to life

Having seen good and evil

Many nights he has wondered

What makes this world the way it is

Could he have changed

What was handed to him

And found other ways to react

Or are these the lessons that must be learned

Gone are the times of innocence

Pointless is self incrimination

So the sun rises

And its beauty ever changing

A flower can be held

Its scent breathed deeply

In people goodness found

In time memories placed in perspective

His soul is attached to the real and unreality

Of a world sometimes mad

Yet in everyday life

Peace and love is his
