Peace - Anybody? Poem by Lilibeth Apat

Peace - Anybody?

Rating: 5.0


There is a peace talk held today
The land's future is being decided
Everyone must keep his cool
Or all will end in a disastrous coup.

Why is peace so elusive?
Do we really have to triple our effort
For something that must come naturally?
Everyone, I know, needs it.

Why does peace have its price?
Why do we bargain? Why make deals?
Is it a commodity only simple men can afford?
Or is it non-existent after all?

Strange how things work out
For peace, someone must die
For peace, people have to fight - ironical!
Peace we crave and peace there's none.

This is really great and so true. The last line is probably my favourite, 'Peace we crave and peace there's none'. Awesome poem. Meghan
