Peacemaker
You don't know the value of peace,
until have known war.
I have never been in war,
I have only been brushed by it
as She went by.
As a kid who had no idea,
what was going on.
I have seen it's consequences,
in the eyes of the broken,
and on the hearts,
of the people
I loved.
And I have seen
other kinds of wars.
Those, much more intimate,
more hidden.
And that is
on some level
a much darker
place.
It is a nasty business,
and I would not recommend it
to anyone.
The world is at war with itself
and so am I.
I vow to make peace with myself,
or at least,
a cease fire.
If you promise
to do
something similar,
every waking
day.
