A world was built in violence, that became

a creation of beauty, of peace

to become a habitat

for all living creatures.

A home was built

a sanctuary for coexisting, for loving

each other

not a place for hate.

A sadness pervades

much that has been built

homes become squalid, destroyed 

sanctuary becomes a danger

peace becomes war.

But…

we build again

a home

a sanctuary

a peace loving world, and

hope and pray

that hate will become

an extinct word of

nightmares.
