I visited a kingdom last night

The queen dressed like common wealth

But upon her brow was a silver circlet

All lived in harmony

And non without a smile

The queen spoke words of wisdom

If we stepped off our horses and walked

If we traded in silk for cotton

If we spoke the truth and accepted it

If we listened to stories told

If we talked more than we made war

If we listened more than we talked

Then we will have peace

She told me how her house was made of mud

And all houses were made of mud

So none would sleep without a roof

She told m e how she dressed in cotton

And how all dressed in cotton

So none would be unclothed

She showed me a kingdom where all are equal

All land equal

All worked for each other

All loved their neighbor

And none wanted or hate

“How did you do it?” I asked

I stepped off my horse and walked

I traded silk for cotton

I spoke the truth and accepted

I talked more than I made war

I listened more than I talked

And now we have peace

Let me live here I asked

I dress in cotton

And live in a mud house

No my child she said

Your kingdoms’ peace will come

She sent me off

Back here

So I tell you this

Peace is within us to be made

And for each other

Thus for us

Only then will we have peace.
