The Peacemakers

Peace is so precious; there's  always a need
For people whose vision is simply to lead
The world to a place where a new way of life,
Banishes violence and all forms of strife.

People who try every way that they can,
To calm all the anger that lives within man;
People who work hard to make others see.
There's no need to fight though they cannot agree.

People who seek to show all how to live
In a world where's it's perfectly normal to give
Instead of just taking from everyone round,
With little compassion or love to be found.

People who bring a conciliatory word,
Which seems to the violent to be quite absurd,
To all situations where trouble could flare,
But may be prevented because they are there.

People whose aim to to bring about peace,
Who pray every day that all conflicts may cease;
And man may yet live in a world where at last,
Terror and hatred are things of the past.
