Poem – Make Enemies Into Friends

I searched for a place to call my own.
I searched for a spot that felt like home.
I learned that home is a feeling not a place.
I learned that home is where one is in grace.

In a world going crazy with anger and hate.
Many are suffering or going to heaven’s gate.
The trend is barreling towards conflict and war.
So many disturbed souls are hungry for more.

But chaotic minds can never breed peace.
That is why some conflicts never seem to cease.
We live in a world that we are fed with a side of lies.
And some do not know what is real or a disguise.

Do we believe in a world that can find a place of calm?
Do we really want to figure out how to get along?
If enough of us will lean into those trends.
We will find a way to make enemies into friends.
