All is quiet along the devastative land, <br />As the exhausted combatants rest. <br />The dark war clouds dissipate in the sky, <br />While a lasting peace is the primary quest. <br />It is prudent to negotiate in good faith, <br />And to restore the opportunity to be free, <br />To instill the hopes and wishes of the people <br />To the uttermost ends for everyone to forsee. <br />Peace! As the promising word is spread, <br />Silencing those who were on the war hunt, <br />Peace at last is the long and repetitive cry, <br />Reverberating along the length of the front. <br />As the eyes of the weary people sparkle, <br />Hearing of peace with a joyful release, <br />From men and women - lip to lip it's, <br />' Peace at last! Hostilities will cease! '<br /><br />Joseph T. Renaldi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/peace-at-last-6/
