Oasis

The world is a battlefield Only the fittest can survive The rich in their hunger for more Trample on the poor forever more. There are wars There are rumours of wars Man's inhumanity to man is everywhere Man's milk of kindness is nowhere. In the midst of all these contradictions In the midst of all these distortions Hope is not gone What is done can be undone. Arise all you men of honour Arise all you men of goodwill You need only to know That we are all created In the image and likeness of God Arise and be an oasis In this sea of perversion.
