Let the Weapons Fall Silent

Let the weapons fall silent

Like a beautiful sunrise

Greeting the morning dew

Like the passing clouds

Covering the warm sun

Like a flight of birds on their journey south

The blossoming trees

An empty library

A simple thought

A quiet death

Let the weapons fall silent
