Honoring the Heroes of Harmony

While anyone can incite violence and destroy homes, it takes courage and nobility to uphold peace and sanity.

To
Provoke violence: simple.
Set homes afire: easy.
Take lives: require no brains.
Divide hearts: just a breeze.
Extinguish lights: mere play.
Tear pages: need no sages.

But,

To
Preserve peace,
Build homes,
Sustain growth,
Knit souls,
Kindle light,
To teach wisdom.

These heroic deeds:
Merit true applause.
