Peace On Earth This Christmas
Will the guns fall silent today and not kill,
Will the bombs not explode and not mime the innocent,
Will the children not have to run for cover,
Will the terrorists realise the folly of their ways.
Will we feed the world this Christmas,
Will we be able to change lives for the better,
Will we build bridges across our divided society,
Will we be able to have peace on earth today.
Will we forget self-indulgence today and help the poor,
Will we forget our petty squabbles and make peace a priority,
Will we forget about ourselves and care about others,
Will we forget about greed and wealth to spread equality for all.

I would like to translate this poem
Dear Sir Christopher, Peace is more than the absence or cessation of war.. We can attain Peace if we put God as the center of our lives.... Sincerely, diane
