THE MAN THAT LOVES PEACE

As the seed is watered he ponders peace
Enabling him to bring peace to his brothers
This man can accomplish more admirable deeds
Then the man who remains in his books and his scholarly endeavor
A man who's passions are blind
Can take a good man and make him vulnerable to hatred
And even come to see this hatred in others
It is the man who is a wholly peace loving sort
Regardless of education, brings forth GOOD in many a brother
The man who lives in this perfect peace loving place
Could never even think of seeing hate in the heart of another
Honest charity only knows how to be angry with itself
It could never be upset with another, for their wealth
Or any other business that distracts him from his brothers
The man who loves peace,
Is walking these city streets
We don't see him, because we're not involved in
Attempting to discover the peace
Its no major accomplishment
To live with nice quiet people, who are good
Because its pleasurable to live in that neighborhood
We all want to live in a nice friendly warm kind of town
But the man who lives with sinners and thieves
THAT is a great grace praiseworthy, and if spread through the town
Then he's accomplished a great deal indeed
For this man has shown through his actions, his peace....
