The Cost of Peace
Everyone wishes for peace
It's all the talk
These days
******* up
Means everything
Meanwhile, armies are dispersed
Waves crash over land
As time stops
And lives are lost
Families torn apart
Left empty
With a gaping hole
Finally, it ends in agreement
The fighting begins to cease
Sudden calmness and relief
Sweeps over the land
The calm before the storm
Is only false hope
For peace
Is the calm after the storm
It tastes sweet
The relief of the land
A weight lifted from its shoulder
A feeling so hard to obtain
It's universal
We all know what it is
Still we're all left
Wondering
Why does peace only come
After war
