Genuine peace
is a tower that permits
no stairways of suspicion.
Genuine peace
is a metal that rejects
corrosion and attrition.
Genuine peace
is a light that gets
brighter and brighter in time.
Genuine peace is a prescription
certified to be sublime.
It allows no concessions
to solutions deemed unjust,
Nor lends itself to anything
that has no mutual trust.
Genuine peace
is a rope, fastened really tight
around the fierce embodiments
of brutal force and might.
It is a mirror that reflects
an undistorted view
of calm and true reality
and all of their effects.
Its directives universal,
strengthens sound relations
while tranquilizing egos,
suffering harsh abrasions;
The only ladder
reaching up so high
with rungs of trust and hope
That can be well-extended
to reach a wider scope
Life being hard and burdened
with needs that never cease
can prove to be a blessing
on the scale of
genuine peace.
