Peace Eluded

Health and wealth can all be found,
Beauty too amid sights n sounds.
Yet never before man had been bound,
For peace is costlier than the pound.


                                 Now in gloom we stress the need,

                                 Pledge today to sow the seed,

                                 Peace in family, peace in country,

                                 Peace in the world we have to see.

                                   121 nations by their 'absence of violence.' The 24 indicators include internal and

                                   external factors such as levels of violence within a country, organized crime, 

                                   the number of people in prison, and military expenditure.
