The Need For Peace
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Everyone says to wish,
The need for peace...
Is wanted these days.
With an urgency to keep.
Yet where can we go,
To get this peace we need?
Where can we go,
To get that peace we need?
Everyone seems to feel,
What peace is inside felt real.
Although incapable to show
Yet still,
Search people do outside themselves...
To find what stays in their minds.
But no one has the time,
To spread and let peace grow!
