What if they're right
And Saddam's a threat
What do we do
To nullify and yet
Not create more enemies
That hate us still more
Not start new wars
And more bloody gore
What is the answer
To hate and fear?
What can we do
To make things clear?
We want every person
To live in peace
To trust in our leaders
And for hatred to cease
But if we fight war
With yet more hate
Will we find a solution
Or just seal our fate?
When you are angry
What do you want?
A fist in your face
A hate-filled taunt?
Or some understanding
That makes you see
That though things are bad
You may START to agree
I'm not saying it's easy
But with tough love
You can take the sleazy
And with help from above
Bring souls together
Who are filled with sorrow
Where the heart goes
Then the mind will follow
Don't deal in hate
And sneering threat
If we kill one another
We'll be filled with regret
We have one chance
And one chance alone
To make the world work
When it's gone, it's gone
Don't let it all slide
Down to a war
Don't risk the future
That will make us all sore
Let's heal the sorrow
That lies between us all
Build bridges to the others
And hear their call
We were born as brothers
And sisters too
Don't hurt the many
To protect the few
If we have tolerance
One to another
Then our children's children
Will one day discover
The world is together
And Heaven's in our soul
When true PEACE is made
And LOVE is our goal
Please support PEACE DAY on February 15th 2003.
Let us come together and build bridges to a better world.
The old warlike solutions of yesterday must go.
All they create are NEW problems and hatreds for tomorrow.
There is never an easy time to start understanding one
another but we have to start somewhere. Why not NOW?
if we choose to slaughter in the name of peace and harmony
what message are we REALLY sending to the future?
If you ever march just one time for any cause please
make it for this one and on this day. The future of our
children and their children's children may depend upon
it... Go in Peace on February 15th, for a new world...

Thanks nessa, we can but try. I like to think of the words of John Lennon in times like these: "What if they gave a war and nobody came?"
