Symbol Bug

The turtle walked to War one day,
The white flag was on his back
Symbol bug walked to Peace today,
Dragging the turtle in a sack

Over and under
Symbol Bug went
Hoping to find a place
Where he had been sent

He asked, they,pointed
And said they knew none
Of such an odd place
Where peace was ruler of

A little discouraged
Yet still on he tread
Coming maybe closer
To where nobody bled

In Peace he thought on
There would be no more wars
As was for the turtle
Now what had he fought for?

Then came a snail past
So Symbol Bug he asked
"Could you tell me where Peace is, I am searching for it so,
For my dear friend here was killed in War you know..

So, if you could help me to find that dear place where no one
are prejudice of any race, where no one are enemies, and everyone
are friends, please, if you could make my long journey end?"

The snail thought slowly then he replied as such,
"My friend do not worry for peace for your friend,
I am sure he found it where ever he went

As for you I shall tell you where you can find peace,
And although you have made a long journey
You are no nearer to it you see

Peace, there is no such place, no town, city, or ville, but
peace can exist within your own mind...you can use that at will
World peace you are hunting?  Well, that does not exist unless
You and the rest of the world stop hunting it and just plainly put it
to the test!"

The Snail stopped talking
Then slowly moved ahead
Now Symbol Bug plainly saw
What the snail had just said

The journey back home was treacherous and long
But the funeral for his friend,the turtle,
Held for Symbol Bug a new song

That day he looked up to the clouds,
Where bombs still flew, he did cry
Yet now he saw it as it is,
A beautiful blue, yes that is the sky
