Before We're All Decease

I've had a lot of friends in life, so many have come and gone 
But there's still a lot of them that keep on living on 
So many that I've come to know believe in what they hear 
There's so much lying going 'round, oh lord, that's what I fear 
Who really knows who's wrong or right, perhaps it's me or you 
The politicians have us all in rage, who knows what's false or true 
But let us not forget what's right, though many things seem wrong 
I think that we all know by now where illegals all belong 
Though illegals are a thing, and should be addressed to there's no doubt 
There are other things that should be addressed and firstly figure out 
For instance, how about the people fighting for their lives 
Like children, siblings, sisters, brothers and husbands widowed wives 
They struggle to survive, they struggle just to breathe 
Just because of who they are or what they do believe
Not only in your country, because you're not the only ones to please 
There're also all the good-hearted people that live across the seas 
We are we and they are they and before we're all decease  
I pray that soon we can come together and live our lives in peace

I feel our generation tried ... your write is so poignant and represents the global peace many of us have prayed for since we first heard the word, 'war.' I really think the 'simple man' could achieve it were not for the greedy, ego-based ones who complicate getting from a to z based on what they can get out of it. I shouldn't get started. I applaud your write.

I like where your thoughts ended p, Charlie. Let's keep praying for (lasting) peace. ~ Gershon
