Time For Peace Poem by Maria C. Pires Costa

Time For Peace

Rating: 5.0


Oh, Manhattan!
How exciting and magical you were yesterday!
With your tall, magnificent buildings,
Far from this catastrophic view -
Great pain, destruction, and all dark smoke
In today's morning so grey!

Innocent people lie around You now.
Their cries keep being heard, though.
They have left an urgent message
For all of us to be humble and wise
And to let solidarity fully grow.

Thousands of hearts riven by grief
Spending their days in distress
Just longing for a time
Bringing all the world nothing better than Peace!

Yes, I couldn't agree more, 'Time For Peace', such simple words and such a pleasant thing to have 'Peace' isn't that what we all want. This poem reminds us of a day most of us will never forget. In my mind it is present and clear as if it just happened. It's picture that will last within me for a life time. How can we ever forget such a tragic day, so many families lost their love ones, it changed their lives forever. We need to be reminded every now and then, we must never forget these tragic situations. Beware, the enemy waits for that slight opening, Excellent poem Maria.--Melvina--

Yes! it is time for peace. Before it is too late and there is no time for peace, the world should recognize peace and rectitude itself to live with tolerance and forgiveable approach.
