Quest For Peace Poem by Susan T. Aparejo

Can grab the dream you crave,
can hoist the herald hymn,
could send the sound of songs,
could make impossible be possible,
but can never post a peace on earth.

Had been looking for you near and far,
to the horizon of unreachable zone,
to the day of uncertain future,
to the night of sparkling darkness,
every nook and cranny, slits and slats,
but none the sight of peace on earth.

What to be scared of?
a banquet is laid long before,
all yells for the revival of your soul,
drum and trumpets put their chords,
to the melody of your charm and choice,
but never the sight of you on earth.

What charisma would string the note,
what aroma would bring the nose,
what words would pacify your heart,
what magnet would cling the harp,
what presence would bait the frightened,
but none the sight of you on earth.

Why signs no more a presence of you?
tell us how, tell us why, ell us when,
turmoil sings, wreckage dwell, evil reigns,
blood flows, flesh spread, skull arrayed,
hope no more for war to stop,
but never a piece nor bit of you peace!

Ah...you're trapped by the word greediness?
your handcuffed tighten by popularity's mold?
that chain powered by world's domination,
that individual hunger for wealth in station,
would melt the race of your birth,
that never a peace could dwell on earth.
