Let Peace Reign

A poem as a my response to recent world events, especially Paris.

Let Peace Reign.

 Is there no end to all this madness

Bringing sorrow and pain and sadness ?

Aren’t humans willing or able

To bring sanity and peace to the table?

Hatred breeds hatred in human hearts

In the dark recesses where evil starts.

Pointless misery fuelled by sin

In a pointless war no one can win.

Why are humans  so unkind,

Peace so very hard to find?

We mourn, we weep, we cry aloud,

To  stand against the baying crowd.

And so my hope, my dream, my prayer

Is for a world that we can share,

Where every  neighbour is our brother,

And we join hands with one another.

Just a few lines expressing my thoughts in response to the threat the world faces from mindless hatred.
