Oh, world leaders, that daily offer <br />Words of peace like cooing doves among <br />The corrugated leaves, listen now <br />To the voices of the peace advocates so loudly strung. <br /> <br />Communicate vigorously with your adversaries, <br />Be bound and guided by International Law, <br />Bear your olive leaf and words of wisdom, <br />Let your efforts glow softly within the honorable hall. <br /> <br />Bring hope and trust to the weary hearts, <br />Assuring them that wars will cease. <br />Restore the faith of impoverished faces, <br />A world of loveliness and everlasting peace.<br /><br />Joseph T.
