Peace Now and Forever
Peace Now and Forever by Makenzie Clemmer
Peace
What does it mean
How would we know
“Peace”
People are killed because of the color of their skin
“Peace”
I'm told that I can't do certain things because I'm a woman
“Peace”
Riots are formed because people don't like who’s running their country
“Peace”
People argue because they have different beliefs
“Peace”
People are judged because of what they wear
“Peace”
People are told they can’t love who they love
What should peace be?
It should be that people can walk out of their house and not fear
That's peace
Not be discriminated against because of my gender
That's peace
Not breaking the law that's made by the president that you elected before 2020 because your mad
That's peace
Let people believe what they want to believe
That's peace
Let people live their lives and you live yours
That's peace
Keep your opinions to yourself
That's peace
There's too much hate in this world
And not enough love
I wish we could go back to how it was
Put away our differences
And come together as one
For you
Me
And all who’s yet to come.
