Let Us Speak
Let us speak
no more of wars;
turn your left cheek
when struck and booed...
cleanse each other's sores
like a brother would.
Strife bears no rose...
carnage wears no garland;
Of what use is "these" and "those"
when Red flows through all veins?
let's make peace an eternal standard
and happiness'd have no stain.
Let Language be no curse
nor belief become a barrier
Colour is just a vainful force
of what use be these three?
Let's make peace our lifelong career
and love'd set mankind free!
