A Glorious Melody

Well you know this old world that we live in,
is the only one we’re going to get.
Now I don’t know how you feel about it,
but I ain’t ready to give up just yet.

So, if we let go of all this anger,
and forget about all this senseless pride.
Then we just might get another ticket,
so we can keep on riding this here ride.

Why don’t we put aside our difference,
and throw away prejudice, fear, and hate.
Just learn to love and respect each other,
before we find out that it is too late.

Let’s sit down together in peace my friends,
and watch a new day come over the rise.
If we learn to listen to each other,
then one day we’re going to realize.

Long as the sun rises in the morning,
and the stars twinkle in the sky at night.
And all those love birds keep right on singing,
then everything is gonna be all right.

This earth is going to keep on spinning,
and we will learn to sing in harmony.
Then we will walk together hand in hand,
creating a glorious melody.

Peace in it's many forms, a dream unfullfilled.. should we have evolved from deer? A lot of who we are is marked within our species. I hope there is peace. It's an uphill climb. I enjoy this poem.

Hey Jerry, your poem is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the potential for positive change when we choose love and unity over division and hatred. Through its simple yet profound language, the poet calls upon us to set aside our differences and embrace a shared vision of peace and cooperation

Agreed -- as long as your peace pipe has better stuff in it than that last fellow who offered me his. ~ Still Coffin

"All I am saying, let's give peace a chance". Now, if I can only remember where my bell bottoms and sandals are.
