Imagine This

(8/31/12) Try to imagine and visualize if every household In n. y. c. was to light and hold up a candle How bright that would be ? Now imagine every town in the united states And every city doing the same thing. How much brighter that would be. Now imagine every country joining in With every household doing the same. It would be trillions of people holding Up a candle - it would be as bright or even Brighter than the sun in the sky And that’s because everyone was willing to try. Now if - and that IF is quite big Everyone that held that candle Raised their voices for peace For love of one another, and treated Each other like sisters and brothers. Imagine how it would spread Like a wildfire out of control And from one person to another it would be told. If we must fight - let us fight for peace Let us fight to stamp out hunger Then human trafficking in slavery And abuse of every kind, verbal And physical. This is the war that we should be in Because these are the wars that We can’t seem to win. After this all the rest of the worlds Problems will fall into place And you will see a much happier face.
