"I heard the bells on Christmas day, their old familiar carols play, and wild and sweet the words repeat of peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how, as the day had come, the belfries of all Christendom had rolled along the unbroken song of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head: 'There is no peace on earth' I said, 'For hate is strong and mocks the song of peace on earth, good will to men.'
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: 'God is not dead, nor doth he sleep; the wrong shall fail, the right prevail, with peace on earth, good will to men.'
Till, ringing, singing, on its way, the world revolved from night to day, a voice, a chime, a chant sublime, of peace on earth, good will to men!"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1807-1882
Will it ever be possible to have total peace on earth, good will to men?
