Seeking Peace

Striving for the best
Wanting things I never thought possible
The pain is too deep to explain
A city that lies in ruins
Tragic but true
So beautiful a city with scars so deep
So deep I can barely speak
We hope for the best, but somehow expect the worst
A city so small yet so divided
Peace is what we seek
However, it is too far to be reached
We want what we can’t have
Striving for the best
We watch and weep for a city that is scarred but still so beautiful
From the cedar trees to the beach
Why is peace so hard to reach?
