True Peace

Peace, lend a hand.
Peace isn't the absence of war,
It isn't the result of war.
Peace begins within,
but it ends without.

Peace, lend a hand.
You cannot win peace alone,
everyone labor and groan.
Envy, greed, and lust,
these make peace a bust.

Peace, lend a hand.
All your neighbors you must see,
as your friends with spirits free.
Your lives intertwined,
spirit, body, mind.

Peace, lend a hand.
All peace with faith must begin,
a peace within is too thin.
Look around to see,
what your life could be.
