Peace & Hope

September 3rd, 2015 | Uncategorized

Welcome to West Belfast

Home of the Peace Wall
Beautiful artwork, but to me
The Graffiti held more meaning
Sharpie signatures stood as a testament
That their cries were heard
But my breath was stolen
By the parallels between two worlds I never expected to collide
“The people have chosen peace”
The same sentiment being expressed on the Atlantic’s other side.
Like Baltimore, like Ferguson
Race. 
Religion.
Historically used to divide.
But in Belfast, there’s hope
I wonder if there’s any hope at home…
