Tristan Alving: As Long as: A Psalm of Peace

 

As long as we fight

There will be no peace

As long as we hate

There will be no peace

When we stop fighting

When we stop hating

Then peace shall flourish

And love the eternal co-exister with peace

Shall flourish too

The longer the peace lasts

The more its roots grow

And the stronger the roots are anchored

And when the roots are down deep enough

Then peace and love shall eternally flourish

And as long as the wall between Israel and Palestine stays up

Then fight will break its bonds

And hate will escape its prison

And then chaos will endure
