1 PEACE WORKS When Peace invades the Power of the Earth. No matters how long it will take, Peace will surround every place, every corner, And every home until it takes control of the world. It has been here but most of us haven t seen it and share it. It may take your whole life until you see it, But our destiny and the destiny of those who love you, Will guide you to its territory. Society will feel its power, its control, War will become a word that will fly Around the world to find a place where hate governs, But it won t find any. Every human being knows peace is here, But many of them will not accept it Until they become color-blind And learn a lesson, a lesson that will teach them to recognize that peace is here. It is here with a feeling of love of those who care and those who don t think of life. Don t forget who you are and how you are, But let us know about it, And we will help you. Our destinies will cross each other, in a peaceful way. Cristian,

2 PEACE IN THE WORLD In the dark world Women scream The Red Sea open it arms for the dead bodies In the snow of winter Eyes lost between the tears Angles singing far away in the sky Up up souls disappear between the clouds Alittle kid weeping in his sleep Adults praying for one peace day Peace with out the blood or war Trees wishing for a day when there are no bodies burned under them The little kid cam running to hid mother asking her where is my father? Your father is resting with God in a nice heaven Tears dropping asking will he ever come back No Never! Never! After years the little kid will understand there was an ugly war which both sides lost no one won anything Even if they won they lost many souls and souls will never come back And now they are sorry But the life cycle never stops The little kid will grow older with his heart full of hate for the people who killed his father and he will revenge for his father One day one of his sons or maybe his grand sons will realize that you can live simply, peacefully with out war Let s have a hope for when one-day peace will cover the world By Muna, Peace Waiting for the war to end, For the fear to go, For the people s errors to forget, Hoping for the peace to come, Every human being is waiting calmly. Ana,

3 Peace as a Rose Let s plant the seed, water it, and let some light go in, lets take care of that little seed day by day, so one day it can become a gorgeous rose, let s all plant our own seed so that one day we can make the world the most beautiful garden ever seen, like heaven. Jayvani, La Paz (The Peace) La paz is beautiful but there is no paz in anymore in this world. The only person that has paz in this life is God. The guns, the knives, and killing are all over the world and will never end. La paz is a wonderful thing that grows inside you. Once there was light, now it s all dark. I wish there was a little bit of light. Light is all paz and dark is all fear. To all of us la paz means to respect each other and ourselves. The people who believe in la paz feel invincible. If all fear is ended love will take it s place and la paz will grow like plants grow when they are watered. Have yow ever thought what la paz means to you? By Adriana

4 Isn t it amazing? Now isn t it amazing That seeds grow into flowers, That grubs became bright butterflies And rainbows come from showers, That busy bees make honey gold And never spend time lazing, That eggs turn into singing birds, That one day we have peace Now isn t that amazing? Nadia, What is pink? A rose is pink By the fountain s brink. What is red? A poppy s red In its barley bed. What is blue? The sky is blue Where the clouds float through. What is white? A swan is white Sailing in the light What is yellow? Pears are yellow Rich and ripe and mellow What is green? The grass is green With small flowers between What is violet? Clouds are violet In the summer twilight What is orange? why an orange Just an orange What is peace? I wish we had peace in this world. A period without war or fighting NADIA What is?

5 WHY PEACE? Why do we have to live in peace if we don t know each other? Or, why not to live in peace? We were given a brain that helps us to think in our actions, we aren t animals. Why to fight if we can talk, Why to hurt people if we can help them, why to destroy our world if we can make it a safer place to live, Why not to appreciate all the things we have now than being sorry of what we lost. It is never too late to change our behaviors towards other people. If we don t change the world right now that is possible we would never change it. Why to waste our time in unneeded things like wars and hurting people if we can use it in helping people that need us, people that are hungry and thirsty. We are all different people, different races, different colors, but we all have something in common, we all have a great heart but we have to use it for the right things. If we all want to destroy our world, if we don t want peace, what are we doing in this world then? Lets built a safer place to live not a place to died Marcos, Peace on Earth Back days, there use to be peace on earth, but now we are not trying to make peace anymore, instead we are taking things from other people/countries, and not shearing them. Peace is word that doesn t mean anything to some of us any more. Why can t we love one another, and not fight for something that doesn t belong to us and make peace on earth. Why can t there be peace on earth, why can t we share our own cultures, and learn from each other to make this world a better world. May peace be on earth for all those humans that live in this world, God s world. Issac,

6 You must love peace on earth. Birds singing out loud without fear. People having fun, loving each other with peace in their hearts. People with love and joy in their hearts. Earth has peace. Animals singing and playing in peace. Children like having peace on earth. Everyone wants to have a little piece of peace. Braulio, PEACE PEACE IS SOMETHING THAT THIS WORLD WILL NEVER HAVE IT IS LIKE BEING IN A PLACE WHERE VIOLENCE DOESN T EXIST WHERE THERE IS ONLY LOVE FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER IT IS LIKE BEING IN A GARDEN

7 FULL OF FLOWERS WATCHING THE D AY PASS YOU BY WHERE THE KIDS HAVE A SAFE PLACE TO P LAY AND NOTHING ELSE TO WORRY ABOUT PEACE IS SOMETHING THAT THIS WORLD WILL NEVER HAVE. Alexia, War and Hatred War can be really grueling, that is why you should not be doing, these horrible things that can hurt you later. War and hatred are two bad things, Though peace and love are like perfect rings. They fit together really nicely, But if you abuse them it is pricey.

8 Things aren't always what they seem, that's why you need to work as a team! To work together, and make the world better, always pays in different ways! How can we be so eager, To fight at others' will? For when the war is over, Dead souls remain there still Why are there so many wars? Why are the colors destroyed? Diana, Part of the world has peace for everybody that is nice. E A verybody has feelings in their heart. n animal always has feelings because they also have a heart. Calling for peace in some parts of the world. Enormous peace, is always what people are looking for.

9 Jarik Peace is like a white paper where peace word is coming out. He was nervous, angry couldn t talk down, was like one shoot one opportunity. Peace words were coming out from his mouth. He was nervous right and word won t come out Blue skin is like white peace where the white clothes get blue space. Words were coming down looking for nark, lonely, and hiding places where words won t come out. He was nervous, angry couldn t talk down, was like one shoot one opportunity. He said I m sorry mama I never hard you, Had you be hate it, discriminate, where peace word won t said more. The word won t come out. A empty space is like without peace world, where word won t come out. But words were coming up for peace. The word won t come out.

10 Bale People living in harmony. Everlasting love for one another. Always lending a helping hand. Corresponding to those in need. Everyone working together to make this World a better place! Lalaofa, PEACE WORKS Today is a shiny peaceful day and a quiet day so we can do our work. Also it is a peac eful day cause we can rest a long time. And it is a peaceful because we are going to church today. In church it is peace, a quiet place where you can pray god for thanks. In church it is peace because their people are not fighting. At my house I want to have peaceful time like, relaxing, watching t.v, and doing my homework, and having a peaceful dinner with all my family. I want to be peaceful at my house where I can relax and where is a quiet place. And where you can be alone. Ashnita

11 When a part of this creation is hurting, other parts carry the pain as well. If you can t feel the pain of any part, You can t be part of the whole being. O friend, from your foes your heart release, In pleasant company drink the good wine with ease. Confer with those who know, open your heart And from the ignorant fleas flee like the breeze Keyoumars,

12 THE GRAVITY THAT MAINTAIN US UP The human behavior is a kind of magnetic that pulls us to don t reason in behavior, but also we had resistance to the bad behavior; that resistance is the peace. Adriana, Peace That word you can t ever describe With every letter has a different meaning When will that day happen? That day that has all of peace s meaning? When will the sun of justice rise?

13 That sun will rise smiling at you Opening it s arm to you and giving you the warmth you need When will the bird wake up in the morning and not have to worry about his children s food? When will the rose open gently to give up its pure smell? When will the hungry people get full? When will you never see a tear falling from an old woman s eye? When will all that happen? When will that morning come? Will we see that day? Or will we die dreaming about it? By Hiba Maricela Peace Peace is something everybody loves. Day by day the newspaper and TV news show us how the violence is all around the world. People pray not only in churches but also in houses about violence. An example of violence was on September 11/01 when many innocent died, that was a terrible attack against the

14 U.S.A. In conclusion, to keep peace in these days is not easy but praying and taking care of ourselves is one of the many ways to get us safe. I think to have peace in our body and soul, give peace to other people. Peace -Without it we aren t happy. -Without it we don t sleep well. -Without it we have more problems. -Without it we get upset. -With it we can do everything we want. -With it everybody works fine. -With it everybody is better. -With it the world is a better place to live in. That s why we need peace. German

15 PEACE Peace to me is a feeling of calm and security in the inside that makes you feel so good. Peace is what the whole world needs. It is so sad to see how two countries are fighting each other. I don t get it. They are just wasting their money making those powerful weapons. Unsteady of use it to feed the poor children or help the homeless people. Peace is what the world needs. With out it we ll have along time of suffers. Peace! Let s work it out. Can we??? CAN THIS WAR END WHEN WOULD THIS WAR END WHEN IS EVERYBODY GOING TO STOP FIGHTING THAT S THE QUESTION TO ASK WHEN YOU ARE SCARED, WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY, OR W HEN YOU ARE SAD FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING. THE SCARY QUESTION TO WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT WHO WILL BE THE NEXT PERSON TO DIE WHO WILL BE THE NEXT COUNTRY TO SUFFER

16 WILL IT BE A FAMILY MEMBER WILL IT BE YOUR COUNTRY WILL IT BE A FAMILY FRIEND WILL IT HAPPEN TO THE U.S.A? WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO OUR FAMILY WHO KNOWS WHAT S GOING TO HAPPEN THE RE LOTS OF THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN. WHEN WOULD THIS WAR END I HOPE IT ENDS NOW BEFORE ANYTHINTG HAPPENS TO US AND EVERY PERSON IN THIS WORLD. -HENRY
