One plus one is two, they say,
A simple truth to light the way.
Yet in a world of shattered dreams,
Where peace feels distant, like fleeting streams,
This math, so pure, holds more than it seems.
One heart plus another, seeking to care,
Can spark a flame in the coldest despair.
One word of kindness, one bridge built strong,
Can mend the chords of a fractured song,
Proving, perhaps, we’ve been right all along.
One hand joined with one, reaching out wide,
Can calm the storms where anger resides.
One voice plus another, speaking as one,
Can rise with the power of a morning sun,
Declaring that peace has only begun.
But peace is no sum that comes overnight,
It’s built with our courage, our truth, our fight.
It’s found in the balance of give and take,
In the vows we keep, the bonds we make,
In the quiet resolve not to let love break.
So one plus one is two, it’s true,
Yet it’s also the path we must pursue.
A lesson simple, but vital to know,
That peace begins where unity grows,
One by one, we can sow and bestow.
In our lifetime, let us make this vow,
To carry the hope and act in the now.
For one plus one can be much more,
It’s the key to open a long-closed door,
To a world where peace reigns forevermore.
