Peace

peace is not
a dream.
not a vision,
not delusion.

not what comes after war!
now an act of cowardice
not a spiritual emotion
not the gift of death
after an angry life

peace
is
the
last
breath
of air
in
this darkness

the only road
that leads
out of hell!

peace is the
heart of God
manifested
in the actions
of compassionate
men with dirty hands!
