We are one people All deserve a chance in life Regardless of race The journey in life Pondering the forgotten Has not been crowning I believe in life It’s a journey with purpose Opportunities We choose how we live Responsible to the end Life should end with love We celebrate peace Remembering forgiveness Embracing balance Edward J.

"Life should end with love" (nice line) as it began with love! I know what you mean; we are trying to convey pretty much the same concept. I firmly believe that common people understand the elementary principle behind any faith: LOVE. It's the marriage between Politics and Religion, between Priest and Politician that keeps people apart. I like your idea. Thanks for steering me to this poem.
