"I PRAY FOR PEACE"

We are but a flicker of light
in the span of time.

The light from the stars
started shining
even before we were.

We are less than a blink of an eye
in the universe.

Life is so precious
yet not enough people even care.

They'll take yours
without a second thought.

We even have to lock our car doors
just to drive to the store
for a loaf of bread
and a gallon of milk.

And I pray for peace.
