War and peace

War is the death of so many people.
Peace is the calm of so many countries.

War is the end of so many lives.
Peace is the start of so much happiness.

War is the crying of so many mothers.
Peace is the laughing of so many children.

War is a bitter storm.
Peace is the soothing ocean.

War is the start of hatred.
Peace is the end of enemies.

War is the chaos.
Peace is the calm.
