Peacemaker

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.
