Peace I will be

If you were peace, what would you be?

If I were peace,
I would be the right to life.
I would be the fire in the fireplace on winter evenings.
I would be a garden of colorful flowers.

I would be a cloud full of water over the dry land.

If I were peace,
I would be the friend with the open arms.
I would be laughter and song, I would be happy voices in schoolyards.
If I were peace,
I would be the hope of life.

If you were war, what would you be?

If I were war,
I would be the fear in the souls of people.

I would be the burnt and demolished houses.

I would be a wounded pigeon.

If I were war,
I would be black-clad women and orphaned children,
I would be quarrels, shouts and fights.
I would be black clouds in the sky.
If I were war,
I would be sorrow chasing after joy.
If I were war, I would be the wounds of the Earth,
I would be the tear of the planet.
No no
Peace I will be,
Peace I ask for

Peace I will be…
