Our Shared Beating Heart

We marched for peace again on Sunday…and from the very start…. Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup our footsteps on the ground made the sound of a beating heart. Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup The march ended at a park…around a drum circle where… Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup we were reminded that a beating heart is something we all share. Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup It matters not the color of our skin…our country of origin…if we have different names Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup for every person on this Earth…our heartbeat is the same. Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup We all share this gift of life…which in itself is fleeting Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup but hatred…bigotry and war can stop a healthy heart from beating Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup I wish I knew the answer….how long it takes to create…. Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup for a heart born out of love…to fill itself with hate. Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup We marched for peace…for same reason we have marched before… Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup to hope and pray that no-one ever again…marches off to war. Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup Because in our minds it’s simple…war and hatred and bigotry would cease Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup If everybody with the same heartbeat…marched together for peace Lup-dup…lup-dup…lup-dup
