The Protection Of Peace



Banksy


 The Protection Of Peace

On hard, concrete, grey, lifeless, stone, 
Gently and delicately,
Created, a dove alone 
A messenger of love and peace, 
A padded jacket  protecting her feathery fleece. 

People walking on hard macadam, 
May  
wonder why ?
Peace is no longer our Madame ?

A gentle woman that'd caress 
Nurse humanity, through its stresses, 
Who would no longer have to be swathed 
In a jacket for protection

For humanity she would bathe,
Lovingly, with care 
She'd teach us not to fight and stare,
She'd sponge our souls in peace 
So wars, prejudice and hate 
Would stop! 
Cease!
