We have the free will
To choose.
So let me choose compassion.
Let me choose to listen.
Let me choose peace –
The peace of stillness
The peace of accepting
The peace of peace.
If I choose peace
Maybe my friends and family will too,
And their friends and family too,
And on and on
Until there is more peace than evil.
Evil will shrink
And be hidden
And maybe waiting for a crevice
To crawl through
To become once again
As powerful
As it is today.
Or we can each choose peace
Not only today
But each morning
Each dawn
To ensure that
Evil will never again
Get its own way.
