and it is for free

in courts of law
two disputants haggle
the price of
peace to buy it

i bridge the gap
careful with words
and gestures
i lead them to
some price tags
in a civil room.

in the barrio where
i grew up, upon a lake
teeming with fish, and
blooming lilies

peace has no price
and everyone has
always its share

it is for all who need
it and it is for free.
