One Day Peace

The after world and this world spiralling
Joining into one, neither one resting
Souls never truly at peace as they attack each other
Trying to get happiness through one another's pain
Shattering their worlds
Crumbling beneath their feet
Slipping through their fingertips
Minds exploding as the feeling of never feeling whole come to realisation
But not realising there joining into one is not quite how it is
If only they saw what I see, if only they used what they had together
Instead of attacking one another's differences
We all will have peace
This world complete and humanity restore
The after world souls resting, silent
Everything and everyone at true peace
True peace fulfilled as everything flourishes beautifully
