The Picture
Calm smiles
Gentle eyes
Sunny skies
and welcoming eyes
If peace was a picture
what would it look like?
Pouring rain
Scorching tea
A good book
and your family
If peace was a picture
what would it look like?
Speaking up
Being noticed
Not being told
“Act like a girl”
to silence a voice
If peace was a picture
what would it look like?
Going out
Not getting pulled over
in case you look
like a ‘thug’
because of your skin colour
If peace was a picture
what would it look like?
No bombs dropping
No children screaming
No countries interfering
and a sky that isn’t grey
If peace was a picture
what would it look like?
In the end
there’s one picture
but a thousand colours
and we can only try
to paint
peace
