World Peace

Poem by Joslan Carter 

——————————————

World Peace.

Clear as air

Completely silent

A possibility

Yet we choose to ignore it.

Brings happiness and calm

Would help us thrive

But then again, we act as if it is an impossible concept

World peace

Forever kindness

Flourishing humanity

In our grasp

But we won’t let it penetrate the walls we’ve surrounded ourselves with.

Won’t let it seep into our skin

Let it soak into our veins

Travel through our blood to our brains;

To our hearts.

Instead, we choose blood that is shed, not infused

We choose hatred,

We choose violence,

We choose death.

All over calm

All over our brightest future

Over love.
