I Believe

I believe we are all family....
  and golden
  and our souls (are One)
  with starlight

I believe in the love in your eyes(all)
  as oceans blue, brown, black and green
  infinite with immortality

I believe the children come first ---
  and we should leave them when we go
  (with greater hope than our own)

I believe we can end all wars
  and starvation
  and folly long in the tooth ---
  and have the very first democracy
  (without capitalism gone awry)

I believe the world longs for peace,
  but there are too many ass*@#es! ---
  to make a difference

I believe in reincarnation
  for only one man got it right with one try
  
I believe in heaven
  because this world ain't enough

I believe in the truth 
  which is the greatest teacher
  with love as its motivation

I believe in authentic freedom
  and not the chains of illusion

I believe in Jesus
  because he is devotion itself

I believe in God
  (I believe in you)
