Peace

A peaceful world they say

Yet what is at peace?

A question was raised.

Is not being able to express your

thoughts peace?

Is not being able to stand up for what

you believe peace?

Doubt was raised.

Doubt of always being inferior

Doubt of always being suppressed

When will this doubt be erased?

Is it possible that the wings of the

dove can stretch?

How far can it stretch?

Far enough so that all enjoy its

shade?

If only so shall the world be at peace.
