Hope for the future

For one short moment we bid the world peace.
We do no harm, but we are not the ones
who threaten with the power of many suns.

We do not think, while here we take our ease,
about the folk who live beneath the guns;
for one short moment we bid the world peace.

Our hope is that in short time war will cease,
that parents will not mourn daughters and sons
who died for others. The thought of joy still stuns.
For one short moment we bid the world peace.
