The wings to freedom
are seldom free.

The face of a dove,
the body of razor wire.
This is modern-day
peace agreements.

Even beautiful things
endure pain

There’s a dove of peace
Hidden in every barbed wire…

Trapped within
the confines of enslavement
lies the hope of freedom and peace.

Break free if you can see…
The wide sky
that beckons you to fly!

For the caged bird sings of freedom
unknown aiming the sky

May the “dove” find love and peace;
beyond the “barbs” of hate and greed.

Amidst all chaos,
peace will find its place.

Choose Peace…
Against all Odds !

Look past
the adversities to good times ahead

The flight to Peace
is riddled with thorns.

Nothing can stop us
if we soar high some more
until we finally release ourselves
into what was restraining us.

A bird without wings
is like people without dreams.

Sometimes the strings of worthlessness
is in our minds,
break it and you will be in peace

Don’t let the thorns of life
prevent you from flying high.

Create beauty
out of the most dreaded situations in life.

Freedom comes with a great cost.
