By Ron Faust
When we model Peace
Future generations will follow
What we fear
Are figments of our imagination
We are told to conform
Not to be different
Not to stand out
Even if instruments of destruction
Might lead us to our death
We become trapped
Into false claims of living
Shopping, dining, and sports
Numbed by habits and routines
Choosing the easy way out
The path of Peace is not easy
Often a road less traveled
Maybe ridiculed and lonely
But it is the correct road
Most satisfying and visionary
With less violence
Less harm to the Earth
Most capable of
Promising a future
For our Grandchildren.
