"This Peace You Speak Of" challenges you to question: - Is peace a tangible reality, or a cruel mirage dangled before us? - Can peace be bought, or is it something we must create for ourselves? - In a world rife with conflict and chaos, does the pursuit of peace even make sense? Moreland's voice resonates with a defiant skepticism, a demand for practicality over pipe dreams, and a call to arms for respect and self-reliance. This poem is a guerrilla raid on the complacent mind, a battle cry for those who have grown weary of empty promises and hollow prayers. Prepare to be challenged, to have your beliefs questioned, and to emerge with a newfound respect for the gritty, unrelenting pursuit of true peace. Are you ready to confront the hard truths?
