Peace is hard
War is easy
Peace is constant effort
Peace is dialogue
Peace is a slow, careful cultivation
Peace requires constant attention
To be tended to as a beautiful garden
Or a forest strong yet vulnerable
If neglected
Tended carelessly or lazily
Even a 100,000 acres of trees and grass
may be s destroyed by one glowing ember.
The ember of war
The ember if fear
The ember of hate
The ember of distrust
Be vigilant oh warriors of peace
Be diligent, envoys of compassion
Be strong, messengers of mercy
Carry your strength humbly
Tenders of the Garden
Peace to all

Like charity, peace begins at home/within, but should not end there.
