Defining Peace
Peace: Freedom from oppressive thoughts or emotions.
We are the roots that either feed or destroy our ideal of peace
So it is necessary to act justly and righteously towards our fellow man.
Turmoil results from a disregard for one another
Which in turn inhibits peaceful thoughts among us
And these angry broadcasts are normally the projection of our own insecurities
Therefore our lack of restraint undermines our need for peace.
So inner peace is necessary to obtain global peace.

Peace: a state of tranquility; freedom from civil disturbances.
While no community, region or country is absent of peace
That same area cannot be free from discord and turmoil.
This is the necessary juxtaposition of peace.
Without defined oppression there can be no freedom
Without disagreement we cannot have unity.
These two forces have and will be present and significant through all time
But we as communities and nations still must strive to live free of turmoil.
