Peace must begin and reign in our heart <br />And be ingrained for ever as part <br />Of our blood that runs and animates our brain <br />To act for noble deeds again and again <br /> <br />Peace must shine like the winter sun <br />In every home to dispel the clouds around <br />For work, worship and prosperity to abound <br />Peace must flow through everyone <br /> <br />All human virtues spring from peace <br />To light every home in darkness and gloom <br />And help the tender buds to bloom <br />And waft their fragrance to every piece <br /> <br />Peace breeds amity, brotherhood and love <br />Among nations that prosper high above <br />Warring countries, that in perpetual fight <br />Fritter away their wealth and might <br /> <br />Peace is abstract and like the tide less sea <br />Can’t be possessed for a fee <br />To percolate through the tangled mind <br />To rein the thoughts like a steed from behind<br /><br />Venkateswaran Krishnan Sreenivasan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/peace-357/
