One Peaceful Day

I'm going to be lazy and contrary. Instead of being wild, free, and uninhibited, I'm posting a poem I have already written. I wrote it on World Peace Day in September. I play a phone game called Bonza with a daily word puzzle. One day it was 'rhymes with peace'.


I wish I could leave a better world
For my nephew or niece 
I  want there to be peace.

I wish I could wrap up all kids
In a blanket made of fleece.
I want there to be peace.

I wish we all could fly free
Like a happy flock of geese.
I want there to be peace.

I wish we treated the earth
Like God had leant it to us on lease.
I want there to be peace.

I wish we didn't shame women
For being flirty, strong, or obese.
I want there to peace.

I wish people didn't hate someone
Just because they're named Omar or Maurice
I want there to be peace.

I wish the colour of your skin
Didn't make you a target for the police.
I want there to be peace.

I wish that all the violence
Political and domestic would cease.
I want there to be peace.

  1. The repeated rhymes turned out nicely and I surely do appreciate the sentiment.
