POEMS FOR PEACE

PEACE

Peace is a flower,
Peace is a bird.
Peace is the sun,
Peace is the moon.
Peace is you,
Peace is me.
Peace is what you want!

(Ellie Friedman)

A WORLD OF PEACE?
The world is round, the world is wide.
What about the folks inside?
There is peace in places, but not in all.
That's too bad for our big blue ball.
People of all colors we can find.
To live in peace, we must be kind.
Living together, white and black.
Love and forgiveness is what we lack.
Peaces for all is what we seek.
For our souls, we hope to keep.

LA GUERRA                                                                           THE WAR

"La guerra es como una hoguera                                              "War is like a fire                      
donde los locos se abrasan"                                                        where crazy scorch"
"Tristes guerras                                                                         "Sad wars
si no amor la empresa.                                                                if not love company.
Tristes, tristes                                                                              Sad, sad
Tristes armas                                                                               sad weapons
si no son palabras.                                                                       if not words.
Tristes, tristes."                                                                            Sad, sad."
"A lo lejos tú, sintiendo                                                              "In the distance you, feeling
en tus brazos mi prisión                                                                in your arms my prison
en tus brazos donde late                                                                in your arms where late
la libertad de los dos.                                                                    freedom of the two.
Libre soy. Siénteme libre.                                                             I am free. Feel me free.
Sólo por amor."                                                                             Only trough love."
