mr mark, this peace, p-e-a-c-e....is it a noun ? Please help me understand...

"What is peace ? Is it in the eyes of those infants, nursing upon the dry breasts of their hungry mothers in cold huts ? Or is it in the wretched hovels of the hungry who sleep upon the hard beds and crave for one bite of the food which the priests and the monks feed to their fat pigs ?"

Until when shall the people remain sleep ?
Until when shall they continue to glorify those
Who attained greatness by moments of advantage ?
How long shall they ignore those who enable
Them to see the beauty of their spirit,
Symbol of peace and love ?
Until when shall human beings honor the dead
And forget the living, who spend their lives
Encircled in misery, and who consume themselves
Like burning candles to illuminate the way
For the ignorant and lead them into the path of light ?

- Khalil Gibran

Kill a man,and you are an assassin.

Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror.

Kill everyone, and you are a god.

-Jean Rostand
