One Day Without War
Raul Midon
What I wish for
What would it be like if there was no war for one day?
Just one day on which the world would stop and
reflect upon the innumerable loss
the bottomless suffering
the unspeakable evil
that is visited upon the world when war breaks out
How many lives would be saved?
What revolutionary ideas would emerge
from even one of those individuals
that would have otherwise been senselessly snuffed out
What I wish for is Peace
Maybe not ever after, maybe just for one day
