A Pathway to Beautiful Peace

By: 

Jemelia

Moseley

About coming together to find peace and harmony.

I see a pathway of the brightest light.
Granted, there’s so much scope, with endless rope but there’s always an honest pathway to
beautiful hope.

Air raids, modern slaves, any form of abuse and inequality
we cannot not look away
including starvation/child emancipation/evil and dark temptation.

We can overcome any feeling of desperation.
With love and kindness, understanding and appreciation/for each other, we can fill the gaps
and end our social segregation.
No more wars, children dying on floors and in desperate hospital wards.

Lets not succumb to what we cannot change but walk together towards what we can.

Let’s look towards a pathway to peace
an unknown, unwalked journey that’s undoubtedly steep.

There’s a way out even when the rivers are deep.When you feel like your drowning just keep treading, floating, keep your head above the
water, find your inner saviour and swim to the other side-to the pathway of peace,

Let’s be that pathway to peace.
