Ode To Peace Poem by Cynthia Yildirim

I
Shame!
You hide your face from humanity
You sicken me
Show your face!
II
You only have one motto
And it’s old and never works
Give peace a chance they say
Then they hide too
Only speaking words without action
III
You are a puppy still to this day
Young and naïve
War rules over you
War has the devil
You have God
This is mightier
Yet you sit
IV
Rise up and look around
Don’t close your golden eyes
Are you waiting for your 1000 years,
As God has promised?
You do not have to wait till then
Show yourself now
The world needs you
V
War whispers in your ear
To hush, but must you?
The archangels come with you
Yet you are too shy to ask them
Why?
VI
Come out dearest peace
And make for once each person
As brothers and sisters
You have this immense power, bring it up
Let us amuse ourselves with it
