By Gabriel Foster

War is heartbreak and pain on the battlefield,
And within the human heart.
War dismantles the bridge to human progress,
And setback the rebuilding of tomorrow’s dreams
For a war-torn society.

Light the candle of peace and shine its light
Upon the madness of angry hearts caught up
In the dance of destruction.

The music of peace must be performed on the
Grand stage that dwell within the conscience
Of every individual who desires a secure
Future.

The banner of peace must be allowed to fly
And penetrate the insanity of violence
That is often seduced by insignificant quarrels.

Even a just war darkens the soul and eventually
Imprisons the logic of reason.
