Give Peace a Chance

The world collapses
Diseases kill
Meaningless wars
Starvation
Homelessness
Cancer is growing
We either hate our neighbors
Or just don’t know
Fire builds fire
Revenge is the cause 
You can’t wound with your hands
You kill with kindness
And heal with compaction
Hatred no solution
The world collapsing
and we don't know what to do
