The Other Cheek

Peace has long been valued.

From lighter elements,

With iron they're construed,

But peace they complement,

For peace is one of them.

The untouchable gem.


When pure peace is active,

None reflects the weapons

Of the spies who deceive.

The sulfur brought by pawns

So it continues life

And ends all human strife.


On the grains of the earth,

You show them what you're worth

And bring peace to its birth.


Their dark colors tarnish

The gems of our peace.

They think they bleach the wish,

But they convert and miss,

For peaceful reactions

Halt deterioration.
