What is peace?

It's a question I asked my son

Peace means that no one owns a gun

But how do you see soldiers without guns

I see them at home playing with their families enjoying the sun

So if there were no guns you think it will be peaceful?

No we should also learn to be respectful

What is respect to you?

To stop judging and to others show care and be true

When I say peace what do you see?

I see white and beautiful green trees

So for you nature is peaceful?

Yes a little but we treat it so bad we have to be careful

Why white?

Because it's a color that is so light

What colors do you dread?

I hate red, it means that someone is dead

Can you hear peace?

Yes I hear it when the radio puts on a piano piece

So music puts you at ease?

Yes because I see the notes flying between the trees

Do you see the world now a peaceful place?

No but I might help with some of my ways

What do you do?

I listen, I don't get angry, I recycle and I rest when I need to

When you grow up there will be more on your plate?

I know like working, but you work too much in a job that you hate

We have to work to provide for our family

But we are just 4 what about the bigger family

What do you mean?

Other people living on earth, we eat everyday but some of them bread they have never seen

So what do we do?

Share everything and teach them what to do

You are too young and your life is not complicated

No. You know I am not wrong and I want to know who made yours complicated?
