A United Nation

I long to live in a world where love and peace 
reign.
Where all will know true freedom no matter 
what.
Where homelessness cease to exist, all over
the land.
Where folk embrace their fellow man to become 
a united force.

Where folk that share different views meet in the 
middle,
So they could sit down eye to eye and reach a  
common goal.

Where folk will show kindness to others no matter 
their race, gender, age, political affiliation, or
religion.
Where folk can see each other as their brother from 
another mother. 

We must remove the stumbling blocks of discord
so healing can take place
And realize we're a broken people, cry out to God 
as well fall on our face.




*This may not cut it, but the awesome contest inspired 
me to enter.

Thank goodness many people I know already do this - "Where folk will show kindness to others no matter their race, gender, age, political affiliation, or religion."

I like the last line especially. Sometimes it takes a horrible fall on one's face, before change happens. :) gw

Isn't it ironic, Alexis, that a nation that calls itself united is so far apart right now? I completely concur with your wants.
