Let it be peace, br Not war. br Let dying cease. br Remove the sore. br br To settle the argument br And finish the discussion, br War is not the instrument br To know who is better in position. br br The answer to the conflict, br Is not peace in the dress of war. br Try not to afflict. br Don’t make the dry bones be more. br br Yes, we have democracy. br It’s a type of government br That is popular in the society br But never gamble it to bad investment. br br Oh kings and rulers, br You who sit in high positions, br Please be good leaders br Of your people and respective nations. br br Keep the conflict between you br And let it not affect society. br You must have a mind renewed br And do not make people uneasy. br br Please approve my request br That will you stop war br So that we who are in the quest br Will continue to fly and soar! br br Never use your nation’s materials br To settle your misunderstanding br And do not be animals br Who will make destruction the king. br br Oh kings with favored titles, br Let it be peace, not war. br br Copyright © 2009 by Obed Dela Cruz br br (September 5,2009; Marikina City) br br (To use this poem in a legal way, please email the author at princeobeddc@yahoo.
