Why Not Peace

Why can’t this world just find the peace and learn to live as one Why do we have to hurt and hurt for things that only evils done Look in to the eyes of a child and see what they can see Why can’t we live in a world where all people are set free The beauty of a summers day with the smell of flowers near But we live in a world of hate that’s full of lies and fear Look at a bird so high in flight with the wind beneath It’s wings, there’s got to be a way for us to embrace all Earthly things. we were not put in this world to kill each other off I wonder how much blood will shed before this fighting stops Humans that is what we are black yellow red or white so what is the Reason for wars that radge all through the day and night We all were kids not long ago so look into your heart would you Want a child of yours to die in a world all torn apart. I believe in a world of silence , where we all can live in peace and one Day when the killings done this will all be just a dream. So look up to the heavens as you lay down your head tonight And pray for a world that was meant to be of laughter , love and light.
