ARMISTICE (Poem)

ARMISTICE
231111 be


The last post
When the guns lay silent
And the killing ends
Peace begins

Not the war to end all wars
But war ended
And the beginning of
Eternal peace

The true armistice
Swords beaten into ploughshares
When we study war no more
Loving acceptance ruling humanity

Marching for peace
Not something to do
Instead celebrate life
Celebrate our diversity

Evil men banished
Power removed from them
Arms manufacturers and their profits
And the misery they create at an end

The final armistice begins
We talk to our enemies
Find solutions and stop
Perpetuating vengence 

Now the peaceful elders
The wise ones rule
The human world enters
Its golden age
