The Alchemy Of Peace Poem by Thomas Dooley

There is a scientific equation to peace
Like global warming, it is what our leaders can't see

The alchemy of peace
Is one part you and another part me
Living in harmony

It is not a mixture of exploding things
It is the respect for life and all that it means

The alchemy of peace
Is the extraction of all impurities
Like war and inequality

There is no potion no magical elixir
It is learning from the past and being a forgiver

The alchemy of peace
Is the reaction of a dream to be free
In the incubator of the mind the only place it can be seen
