This page displays poems submitted by students for the Project.
“In their wisdom, the children whose intermingled voices gave birth to the Peace Poem know that peace is far more than the absence of war. Children know that peace comes from the heart; it lives in the way we see others; it survives in the respect we show our neighbors every day. They also know, often better than adults, that today’s world is a global village and that we are all neighbors.”
Secretary-General Kofi A. Annan (http://www.un.org/cyberschoolbus/peaceday/poem/poem.asp)

Kendra - Marlborough High School - Los Angeles
Is it possible to look at someone
and not judge them?
Can we break this barrier
between us all?
Can we see through the scarred concrete
that conceals our identity?
Beyond that barrier
is peace.
The only way to get there
is acceptance.

Encounter Life |

Student
Boise, Idaho
Peace comes with being one with the creator
Let go of everything you know,
And let all become new
Treat everyday as an adventure
To touch lives of all you encounter
Let joy be with you at all times,
By seeing the beauty in all things,
And all people.
Every person has a unique gift,
So seek to never judge,
But enjoy all encounters

The Color of Peace |
|
|
Jordan Rubio
Boise, ID
The color is right
The feeling is good
The words are clear
There's no need to fear
When one tells two
Of love held so true
We all must walk
And open our grey eyes
To see a new light
A new kind of day
Find words to say
The new color of peace
And when we all talk
With intent so true
The color of peace
Is a shade lighter than blue

A Laugh |
|
|
Anonymous
Nampa, Idaho
Peace begins with smiling faces
Laughter emerges from deep within
Rises through the air
Echoes off the walls
Bellows outward
Contagious
Spreads love and joy
Uplifts souls
A connection of the heart
Laughter in any language
Needs no translation
