Everlasting Peace Poem by Joseph T. Renaldi

Oh, world leaders, that daily offer
Words of peace like cooing doves among
The corrugated leaves, listen now
To the voices of the peace advocates so loudly strung.

Communicate vigorously with your adversaries,
Be bound and guided by International Law,
Bear your olive leaf and words of wisdom,
Let your efforts glow softly within the honorable hall.

Bring hope and trust to the weary hearts,
Assuring them that wars will cease.
Restore the faith of impoverished faces,
A world of loveliness and everlasting peace.
