Savage World

The world is filled with danger 
   one must be on one's guard
The vicious have not surrendered their weapons
There is little respect for peace
All of the good people of the earth 
should join hands and 
carve out a path to the 
sea 
Eventually, everyone leaves mortal shores 
The dance continues on the boats which are waiting
for us in the harbor
Laughter can be heard in the distance 
Surely, the way home lies before us 
Peace, joy, and love my friends
