The Poem "Duel In The Jungle" relates to the Search for Peace because it demonstrates the futility and stupidity of sending youngsters off to war. Joseph Schrader
"Epistemology" and "Wailing In Baghdad" relate to the Search for Peace because both poems are poignant, stark images and cries against the tragic loss of life in the current Iraq war. The poems move us into the experience of the daily suffering of a war from which most of us, are physically certainly, removed. Ed Higgins
"We Are Waiting For Peace to Break Out" by Carlos Reyes
"Back Home On The 4th " relates to the Search For Peace because hope for peace never ends. We pass it down to each generation, as we do our wars. Each war we fight, we hope will be the last - We hope, as I write, I hope for lasting peace and I pray war will one day end. Eileen Marie
"I Hear America's Singing" by Leah Stenson
The fireworks of last July inspired me to think of and wish deeply for peace, and the wish became a poem: "July 4th" Rita Czeck
"Midnight Mass" is a prayer and plea for war, hatred, and injustices to come to an end. Celeste de la Cruz
"Poem for Peace" by Betty Rose.
The poem, "This God I" is pertinent to the search for peace because we need to understand and accept that God loves all of creation equally, without exception! Paul Baker
As we have hope when planting seeds that another life will appear, so we must plant seeds of peace so that justice, equality and a dignified life may come to all peoples of the earth.
"Seeds of Life and Seeds of Peace." Pat Denevan
"Upholding" relates to the Search For Peace because this poem is about treasuring the earth which is so fragile; it is about supporting all life on earth, protecting it. (see poem above)
"Rumors of War" relates to the Search For Peace because this poem is about the devastation and destruction caused by the lack of peace, how it affects our lives.
(see poem above)"Doing Without" is my vision of what a world without war would look like.
I have always loved the verse "Righteousness and peace shall kiss", from the Psalms, and also believe the more we imitate all Christ's attributes - especially mercy - the sooner we will have peace. (see poem above)"Tribute," which I wrote 9/11/05, is about our hopes and reactions to acts of war and it… was written with a prayer for understanding and peace. (see poem above)
