Today is the tenth year of Mimi Lennox's BlogBlast For Peace aka Blog4Peace.
Around the world, we speak Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant us Peace).
In celebration of this annual peace festival, here is a poem I wrote called "The Age of Peace" ©
"The Age of Peace" © by Judy Croome
When future archaeologists
When future archaeologists
dig amongst the ruins
of our ordinary
lives,
there’ll be no
hieroglyphics of
heroic deeds
or painted icons of
patron saints
found in 21st
century debris.
The only saints and
heroes
of our century
are the ordinary people,
you and me,
learning how to live
together,
struggling across
the abyss of our
differences,
to discover all we
want
is to live in
peace.
This poem is an extract from my latest poetry volume "a stranger in a strange land" - there are more peace poems throughout the book.
