Author's note: I tried searching for where and when this photo was taken but I couldn't find any information on it. It was just a photo that came up when I searched "Iconic photos from the 21st century."
Crowds of people
Shouting voices
Angry men
Angry women
fight, fight, fight
Forcing "peace" only heightens discord
An upset mob screaming for the pursuit of happiness
For their rights
For their wants
For their needs
Broken glass
Sirens wailing
People chanting
Officers demanding
Protesters demanding
fight, fight, fight
Amongst those bitter and violent
A couple has their own peace
Trapped in a world contrary to theirs
They find their own happiness
The others heighten their rage for peace
Unaware that peace is within their reach
Unaware that they're the ones that can make the change
Unaware of the more effective ways to get what they want
Pursue, pursue, pursue
And you will find peace
Pursue against and despite the hate
Pursue for love
Pursue effectively
Pursue with determination
Perseverance brings peace but
Fighting only breeds more angry people
