Peace begins on your plate
Peace begins on your plate, with each bite that you take,
A choice for the world, a chance to make,
To reduce the harm, to not partake,
In violence and cruelty, for the planet’s sake.
Your fork and your knife, they hold the key,
To a future of love, and harmony,
For animals, for people, and for the sea,
With each meal you choose, to set them free.
The power is yours, with every meal,
To choose peace, to choose love, to choose real,
Food that’s kind, food that’s fair, food that’s heal,
And to make a difference, beyond your plate and your meal.
So let peace begin, with what you eat,
And let love and compassion, be the heartbeat,
Of a world that’s better, for all to see,
Where peace begins on your plate, for you and for me.
This poem emphasizes the idea that the choices we make about the food we eat can have a significant impact on promoting peace and reducing violence and harm in the world. By choosing to eat food that is kind, fair, and sustainable, we can help create a better future for all beings and the planet as a whole.
