Terra Firma

War and Peace collide in vain Mankind will suffer anguish and pain As the earth warms up through ignorance and greed One day we'll find it hard to feed In case you'd forgotton we're all the same race If not in religion but surely in faith Father daughter son and mother Why do we find it so hard to love one another This poem will not stop the pain But maybe slow the wind of change How many times have you cried When on the news more men have died Jesus and Mohammed said "i am the light" Why on earth do we take their name in fight Strip away the colour of skin You'll find we all own a skeleton within Remember this: There will come a day when there will be no more the circle begins.... we're back to war One day we all will finally depart Take your body but leave your heart A final thought as you go about your lives Try to see the world through each others eyes Be kind and caring to one another We've got this planet........ we have no other

Very beautiful work Michael and well deserving of the feature. When there's so much misguided thinking in the world I find our task pretty daunting. How are we supposed to convince billions of people that they're hurting themselves by acting this way?
