'To Live In Peace' Poem by Michael Micmac Mccrory

‘To live in peace’

You’ve got to kill the past
To build yourself a future
Try anything to make peace at last
Sticky tape, plasters or just plain suture
Sow up your wounds
Go forward with a blast
It’s as simple as it sounds
The shape of peace is easily cast

You should all have had your fill
Of watching each others insides churn
Please beg your god to give you the will
To stand and watch your history burn
Mistakes have been made by all, don’t stand still
To forgive and forget, you will have to learn
One step at a time, move on at will

Takes the steps move on a piece
So your children can really get it on
They will, at their own pace
The future within grasp, our past now gone
Their future; theirs to live in peace
