Michael vom Stein Poet Free verse

One nation

We have to forgive
The grave histories we have
The blood we shed
We have to forgive our enemies
Though it is so hard to take
We have to be awake
We have to be true to ourselves
Follow our hearts
And give love
Instead of hate
It is our fate

We have to see
Where we can help
Be a thorn that doesn’t prick
And our latest trick
Is to stay positive
And don’t give up
To fill the cup

We have to end those wars
That only destroy and harm
We have to send our prayers
And disarm

We have to see each other as one family
This planet is one
We have to fight greed and injustice
Give no one a reason to hurt or kill
Have our own free will

We have to protect our nature
And support the tribes 
Who are closest to our lands
The richness of this planet is for everyone

We need a system that is fair
Not be ruled by money and profit
Trade should connect us
And not only be in favour of the rich
No one should be forced to snitch
That is why we have to 
Fight poverty and starvation
Be one nation
