Every culture has an idea of peace and some are definitely better than others but every one does believe in peace no matter how violent they are everyone believes in peace among themselves or himself but everyone believes in peace even tyrants.But the means in which peace is acquired is hardly ever a peaceful method.But in the poem immigrants in our own land by jimmy santiago baca immigrants often come to new land to escape poverty and violence but there expectations are not gonna be met there dreams might be shattered because they might never change they leave their land because of violence only to come to a land and engulfed by new versions of violence and some might never find the peace they look for or so desperately need. Just like civilians heading to a prison or immigrants in new land the dreams in our hearts are always worth chasing if they dont exist.
