Peace

"For Peace!" we say,

As we march,

Into a new day;

A little boy's crutch

Scrapes the dust,

As he held a sign

That states, "We must,

Peace shall have, or a cryin'."

Feet scuffle a-long...

A pigeon said in fright,

"When'll war be a-gone?"

"When Peace shall come,

It shall stay..."

The statue said with might.

Do you know that you can read this poem from bottom to top and it makes just as powerful meaning as when you read it top to bottom? Very well written!
