Poetry and Art, by Sheila Benedis

World Peace

I am alone in a dark dank room

with the taste of long lost dreams

 

thoughts of people in the world fighting

I hear angry words

 

I feel the unity of the world being destroyed

it drives a dagger through my heart

 

there is no taste of joy

only the smell of rage

 

push back the darkness

I want to see the harvest moon

 

a voice in the clouds

a ray of light and hope

 

I want to feel a growing connection of people

worldwide problems being solved

 

people unified in peace

like the rhythmic forces of nature
