An Age of Peace

Wanton acts of terror cease Love and kindness both increase No need for militias or police Usher in an Age of Peace You say that this is just a dream Life flows not gently down a stream Can't we make our planet gleam Usher in an Age of Peace War and fighting everywhere Quiet places all-too-rare Bold our vision, we must dare To usher in an Age of Peace It's up to us; let's not delay Peace on Earth: Why not today

Why not this second? Why not this hour? Why not give ourselves peace first and see what will naturally follow? Why not? You have inspired me.

It's up to us. We are the real leaders --- not those egoistic narcissists holding sway almost everywhere. :) gw
