Peace and understanding...
Together we could stand united
on sweet earth, natures shell
open minded and embracing
yet we paint war creating hell
Why do we torture innocent men
starve children, hurt those in need
We live in a beautiful garden
yet man has become a weed
Every powerful gunshot echoes
each child is reduced to tears
We have the strength of love
yet plague our world with fear
There is room for many cultures
colour, religion, each belief
Our lives should be contented
For our time on earth is brief
War rears it's ugly head
Causing heartache, hurt and pain
as every beautiful sandy beach
starts of as a single grain
We could live in harmony together
without screaming or demanding
we could learn from one another
embrace peace and understanding
