a poem to the peacemaker

inside this heart
sparkles shoot and shine in the sun...
the steps i take searching for answers
the joy to encounter life on my way
the fingers i stretch out trying to touch warm winds
the words that overfloat my lips when talking to reason
cannot make harm, cannot desire omnipotence, cannot take away...

i'am anti-war and anti-occupation, anti-violence and anti-people's sufferings
i'm the thousands crying around the globe, i'm one under the interminable sky
the peacemaker who is called different names...
my writing may never exist or give birth a thought
yet know, a peacemaker isn't the creator of wars and misery
we yell for their ending...i clap for each glory of peace
along with those who believe in love, who believe in justice

no sins move in my being, my personal actions do
may others sleep well among their bad actions?  always do

in the midst of day and night i hear bells and drums of war
sounds of hostility inserted in children's little brains
they dance along horrific sounds until they become men or women
with customs and traditions that lead our ways, back always to injustice
an eye for an eye, a defense over the ofense
a fence higher than flat desperate hunger
and babies abandoned at the mercy of luck, black marked to die
while our sun observes us going blind
going thirsty, shrinking, burning
ash by ash or flooded by ignorance
and hunger for more destruction

i have learned to say no on my very own,
while our green grasses turn onto soft brown
and species lay to rest under our precious cars
it's true, it is that...
no one is better than the other when accidents happen
that...passions  break into tiny pieces,
that...hearts explode with temporary comfort
and possessions are treated like a mother
but love for the brother is there when no one seems to find it

i look for the peacemaker, the one submerged in a risky corner
the one who challenges incomprehension
to beat the beast of us
the one that seeks no price but the price is always at hand
this is november and tricks and treats stayed behind closed doors
beyond dried bushes, beyond the colors we worship every year
inside this heart...i ask for an end to violence or any thoughts of wars
i ask you to be a peacemaker...the glue that puts together our broken hearts
