the Spiral peace challenge

A Change of Heart

By M.D

(age: 8 - 12)



A heartsick father waves goodbye,

His tiny children start to cry.


A man yells out, a smoking gun,

A mother's weeping for her son.


There's sounds of sorrow, shouts of pain,

Screams and yells, it's not humane.


Why can't we stop our battles now?

It's not that hard, I'll show you how.


We'll be together, hand in hand,

Beside each other we will stand.


For this is how we all should live,

Love each other, and forgive.

The Spiral Poetry for Peace Competition 2007 is now closed. Over 350 entries were received, and the winning poem will be used as the theme page for a new interactive online peace campaign designed by Bluhalo, one of UK's leading digital design and build agencies. The winning poem will be annouced on the 21st of September. In the meantime, check out these poems which we thought were worth mentioning. We will be uploading poems daily to this section, so come back often to read the poems and celebrate Peace through Poetry.
