Have You Ever Wondered

Have you ever wondered What the world would be like If we all lived in peace. I once thought peace was a word that soothe pain I thought it was pure and holy and bore no blood stains Then modern times came and a new generation was born. Motherless babes consume by hate Crying daughters victims of rape Fatherless sons possess by guns. Lost and cursed by grief and greed Bondage and captive by prison walls Children born and rear by the hands of babes. Consumed by the lost and unloved To fight a war, to revenge a death Have you ever wondered What the world would be like If we all lived in peace Mother and Fathers. Be good to your children Love them, nurture them Listen to them, care for them. Teach them, be there for them They are our children They are the lost generation. They are the women and men of tomorrow Mother and Father be parents to your children Because there is a lost generation That will grow to be mother and father to your children.
