Peace on EarthIf we want the world to be at peace In faith we must hold the most profane acts Look to the sun and over tallest peeks Accept each other and sew all the cracks End the segregation that tears us apart Let inequality fade to the distance Have our inner beauty become an art And we’ll have an end to this resistance The people who start wars never fight them And those who grow our food never eat it Children stuck inside of all this mayhem Are trying to find reasons not to quit With the balance of life so out of place What sort of troubles are we soon to face? |
ConnectionThe poem “Peace on Earth” talks about ending segregation. The author explains that by putting an end to inequality and segregation there will be peace. Frankenstein’s monster also felt segregated from humans, “I am alone and miserable: man will not associate with me; but one deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me. My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects” (129), the monster thought that by having someone like him his feelings of being segregated would end and he would find peace. The poem and Frankenstein connect because they both have examples of trying to find peace by ending segregation. "Segregation Poems Hello Poetry." Segregation Poems — Hello Poetry. N.p., n.d.
