Imagine peace
for one whole day
throughout the world.
No people killing,
no destruction
no angry words.
One whole day
love is fostered,
with give not take.
One day of peace,
can save so many
give time to heal.
Time to escape
misery, famine to
live in other place.
Time to vaccinate
against disease,
time to enjoy quiet,
of a peaceful day,
to rest with no fear
of harm to come.
That must be worth
a lot of blessings.
What wonderful thoughts Bob. If only.....I appreciated the footnote you have added to bring some more knowledge to us. I sometimes think, what would people from outer space think if they looked down on our world and see ridiculous humans attacking each other, killing each other, blowing each other up! ! ! What stupid human beings some of us are....we must all try to love and care for each other and believe it is possible to work together. As always, you write deep and such meaningful poems. 10 love Karin
A very meaningful piece Bob, which carries an important peace message to the world. If only all nations were to observe the one whole day of peace and realise the benifits to mankind in general....but that unfortunately is still only a distant dream....Hopefully it will be realised at sometime...10+++
This is the one whole day the world celebrates Very informative very lyrical... This poem inspires me to think beyond.. Now there is a crave for one such day for all Inside their doors... to be free.... Yes.. Its true that one this whole day many would have gained But at the same day many would have suffered silently or otherwise Inside the doors...No binding there, no causes there... Good read. Made me explore a little more issues too Thank you, dear poet.
a thoughtful and beautiful poem indeed! I agree with jon london what he detailed below! 10+
yes Bob, imagine if we could have peace for one day. i feel people will notice the difference and make ita habit. a thought provoking write. Mamta
It should be so every day, but I suppose I'd settle for one to start with. Reminded me of John Lennon's 'Imagine'. The world has enough natural disasters without people killing each other too. Ruthie
It all begins with the first day. I may not be able to do something for ever but I may be able to do it for one day. What a great Idea I'm in I'll promote this idea wherever I go to day. Paddy
For one whole day - so little to ask, so much to gain...Like John Lennon's 'Imagine' it fades into darkness, thank you for drawing our attention back to the importance of a small step at a time for world peace
if one day works...maybe they could extend it to a week...or a month.... why not a year.....it's so sillly... they should extend it forever! ! !

This's the hope and prayers of so many in this world Bob...But the superpowers of this world will never allow this to happen....But we live in hope...and with our faith we will reach peace one day....But I fear more blood will be spilled before this heavenly day comes to us.....The freedom we'll all feel...But will one day be enough to start reshaping this world reading for the following day...when we return to the choke hold...the goverments have placed us in...with their greed.....This poem says so much...it points to the efforts that will be needed for our world to succeed in reaching peace....or at least get the world involved....life's too short....and the promise of peace at the end of life's struggle...sure does seem like heaven to me.....well written...great topic...that's powerful in meaning and touch 10
