I have a round red pin from my childhood that says peace. Wish I could find it in my box of mementos.
Peace
Each person, I believe, would say,
Peace, the thing we hold dear;
Our stance.
We need this peace to light the way!
The time of peace is near.
Perchance.
Obedience, the price to pay:
Raise your glass! Give a cheer!
Advance!
Manipulation on display.
The time for peace is here.
Slim chance.
Wonderful rhythm and rhyme 👏👏👏 Great memento!
Thank you!
Very clever! Are you related to a John from CT by any chance?
I don’t think so.
Doesn’t hurt to ask. I find its a small world sometimes!
Definitely! My relative, George Cutshaw played baseball with my husband’s relative, Topper Rigney 100 years ago! Small world? You bet!
Wow, that’s pretty cool!
Right? We were so surprised!
Lovely write, we need all they symbols and voices for peace we can find!
Yes, we do!
Me thinks, it will get much worse before it gets better. You have captured the cry of our hearts- now we just keep doing the next right thing- until our cries are heard.
The only peace we will find, will be in our hearts and minds when we give our worries to God.
So well written, Kaci. The same end rhymes maintained in both stanzas and the meter give your memento a great rhythm. A powerful poem. I hope you find your pin.
Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you liked it.
It’s in a memento box somewhere. 🙂
I love the rhythm and rhyme of your poem, Kaci!
Thanks so much!
Just wonderful 🙌
Thank you so much.
❤️
Kaci, I love this one! Beautifully executed and topically truthful!!
Thank you.
Peace or freedom? It sees that they cannot coexist. Or at least, there’s only a ‘slim chance’. 👏
Thanks for your comment. 🙂
