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!

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.

Peace or freedom? It sees that they cannot coexist. Or at least, there’s only a ‘slim chance’. 👏
