We All Are One

Take a long trip to India Just a regular vacation It was for dewali time Festival of lights celebration So I help set the dewas Throw the oil and make it light And they all said to me Brother you are a Hindu tonight Then I went to Iraq To visit my best friends They both were well dress In the best Islamic trends Was the end of Ramadan? The plan a feast after we pray Then they all said to me Brother you are a Muslim today They stand at the wall In the holy city of Jerusalem Should be a place of peace But it got so many problems It’s the eight nights of Hanukah So I help light the candles too And they all said to me Brother today you are a Jew Back in New York now Celebrating Christmas time By my Christian friends home Have cake and wine Carry gift s for the kids Helping with the decoration And they all said to me Today you are a Christian And as I drove home I think of the people I met And the memories they give I will never forget Why can’t we find peace? I come to one conclusion Its the Governments wants The world to live in confusion If we respect each other Then the world will live as one And from the kindness of our hearts The hope of peace will be born So let’s start with our self And spread it down the line I think we can do it Changing one heart at a time

Yeah... it's a sad world... basically, not our fault... but we are responsible for letting others manipulate us, using their power and our ignorance... Terry... (Good poem)
