Too Much Peace
Write a poem inspired by or containing these words. Is there such a thing as too much peace?
Peace
Too much peace
Is a term I never hear
Not in this dumpster fire
Not in our Fuckery of a country
Is there really peace
When We are bombing other countries
And deportation is of more importance
Than poverty and starvation
There is no peace
When people are still hurting
When there is still war
And when books are burning
How can there be peace
When things crumble down
When love is a crime
And harm is more common than not
Is there really peace
When Alkatraz is threatened to open
When Food becomes so expensive
Or when no one can afford basic care
Is there really peace
When people still argue over religion
Still fight over the past
And shame for their skin
Do you really want peace
If you are part of the problem
When you want to kill people
When you want to fight
There is no peace in a world
Where we hate one another
for things we dont choose
And get framed
For things we didnt do
Is there really peace
When people don’t feel safe
And people hurt themselves everyday
Just trying to get away
Too much peace is nonexistent
In a world
Where it is quite the opposite
