The Day Of Love And Peace

We wanted peace; the same we sought -

revenge but spelling yet a tomb! -;

we planted seeds thus peace we got

and oh! to see that "garden" bloom!

Our warring ways were set aside;

the time had come for peace to reign,

the fight, at best, but foolish pride,

which, truth be told, gave not a gain.

The peaceful path the one we chose,

we took to heart what saints had said:

found far and wide the scent of rose

the day that love and peace were wed.
