And peace will reign across the land
When all the world joins as one hand
To rid what's left of hate and greed
No longer will we sow those seeds
For in serenity we'll stand.
Light a candle, together band
Tranquility now in demand
One light's another to succeed
And peace will reign...
As more are lit the glow expands
With darkness banned at our command
New understanding will concede
That life cannot be left to bleed
A world of trust will now expand
And peace will reign...

sestet with a rhyme scheme as follows: aabba aabR aabbaR. Lines 9 and 15 are short - a
refrain (R) consisting of a phrase taken from line one. The other lines are longer (but all of the
same metrical length).

The prevailing wind of hate seems to grow ever stronger as our world closes in on us. I pray your wonderful words are heeded.
