The peace that’s found on earth lasts not for long, <br />As leaders break their promises often; <br />The peace that wars bring serves to just prolong <br />The rivalries, when differences soften. <br /> <br />Man needs the peace of mind, of heart and soul, <br />Apart from peace surrounding his earth’s space; <br />Progress in fields occurs when peace is goal, <br />And keeps the health and wealth of human race. <br /> <br />The peace that wars unleash is quite futile; <br />The peace that dialogues bring, much better; <br />The peace that world bodies give is fragile; <br />The Maker is the final peace-setter! <br /> <br />The peace that man bestows on earth is short; <br />The peace that God ushers, none can abort! <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 10-9-2009<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-lasting-peace-on-earth/
