try love instead destruction

Contributed by hearts on Thursday, 24th June 2004 @ 01:48:07 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

how many tears must I shed
before the world would hear my cries
I want the war to be no more
why cant we all be at peace
the fighting must cease
terrorist must be stopped
and the world must go on
noone wants to really fight
can we not find a more peaceful way
we all live in this world today
can we not stop the pain
too many sons and daughters are dying
this is not the way
talk about peace
and take no mans life away
can you not see that hate
only DESTROYS the day
we have to find a better way
look at what we do to our children
they are afraid to play
look past the color of the skin
do we not bleed the color red
do we not have hearts
stop the killing
and learn to live together
does noone care about what a child hears
or even the burdens they feel they must bare
turn away from the evil ways
do you really want children to live in fear
hug your wife
send your enemy a friendly word
maybe we all can still learn to be better
peace only destroys the heart
why can we not listen to our desires
please put out the fires
it works if we put the hate out
give love instead of taking someones family member away
listen to what our anger is hurting
we can change the world
if we work together
so love someone you feel you cannot
maybe they are trying to do the same
