Beyond The Sounds Of Guns And Death Poem by Jean Mallette

Beyond the sounds of guns and death
And all the pangs of lifelessness,
There flows the sweet and blessed breath-
A world that's born in peacefulness.

A nation that unites all men
Beneath one banner and one pride;
Where everyone who lives shall win;
Where war itself is cast aside.

No cause is there within its sphere
Worth fighting o'er or dying for;
Nor is there need for men to fear
For fear itself exists no more.

O'er the bloody seas of war
And o'er the battlefields of hate,
There looms a world worth living for-
The world for which we all must wait.
