To the crying little girl hiding behind these torn walls my recognition goes out to you with the peace sign on my wall.
To the disturbed mother with the unfaithful man who beats her my recognition goes out to you with the peace sign on my wall.
To the troubled child who just can't seem to make it in life my recognition goes out to you with the peace sign on my wall.
To the abused new born my recognition goes out to you with this peace sign on my wall.
To the hurting hearts who thrive for revenge my recognition goes out to you with the peace sign on my wall.
For all the single mother's who give up each day my recognition goes out to you with this peace sign on my wall.
To the battered society of what we call home my recognition goes out to you with this peace sign on my wall.
To violence of our land that gets layed before us my recognition goes out to you with the peace sign on my wall.
For the child who grew from anger my recognition goes out to you with the peace sign on my wall.
To the smiling man who knows love has been found my recognition goes out to you with the peace sign on my wall.
To the people who dream with their eyes wide open my recognition goes out to you with the peace sign on my wall.
From the hurt,to the loved, to the battered, from a man to a child I have recognized you all and hopefully with this peace sign on my wall tomorrow will bring a better day.

I used a picture of this peace sign on my wall that was created from stickers.. I used this symbol because it was deep and I could of used it in anyway.. and the world always needs peace.. or for at least certain situations to be recognized so peace could be brought to it..

im confused your like the third person to tell me their name is anonymized...is the system doing that automatically?
anyway i love this peace. i love how you look into this sign and for once you can actually appreciate what it is supposed to mean. People wave this sign around as a war flag preaching their perspective to everyone who thinks differently, but you got it. I like all the characters you decided to show, but i dont understand why you started out seemeing to want to fix character flaws in certain types of people then it ended with a few who had nothing wrong and were already enjoying peace.
i think i understand what you were going for but it threw me off because i attached early on into it that the message was one of praying for these flawed people to feel the peace vibe and repair the damage that has been done to them.
anyways fantastic write. i wish you luck and peace.

wow...
i love it! The repition helped create a sense of flow, and the particular situations and people recognized really helped create and image. Great Job! I especially loved the idea for peace, because you see that rarely in society, as stated, "To violence of our land that gets layed before us"
simply beautiful
