Poetry for Peace: Anna Ferriero

IT WAS EASY IN THE END

Did you know the wars are over
did you know they all made friends
It was easy once they tried it
It was easy in the end
And you know, they feel so clever
but it’s only what we said
can we hope it lasts forever
can we pray for all the dead
And the people who are homeless
have returned to their homelands
and the children are so happy
could they ever understand
For they lost a thousand lifetimes
to the bullets and the bombs
and their tears have made a river
where the peace of love belongs
Did you know the wars are over
did you know they all made friends
It was easy when they tried it
It was easy in the end
It was easy in the end…
