2026

Best wishes 2026, 
The world needs gentleness,
in Nashville in Tennessee
In Sichuan, in Paris,
The world needs gentleness,
in Hamburg, on the Volga,
in Moscow or in Brisbane,

There is enough of violence,
Words that hurt, insults,
stabs in the back,
There is enough of wars,
That no one wants,
except Mr. Putin.

 Best wishes 2026
May your children be happy,
That they read beautiful books,
The world needs gentleness,
in Edinburgh, on the street of Siam,
in Atlanta, on the Mississippi,
in Jerusalem, all over Africa,


Best wishes 2026,
Take care of this planet, she will take care of you.

Well peace is to be prized..The people That push for war.? Or money and Power.? Maybe thats the best rationalization.? And History in aggregate is a good safety valve.)
