Terra Firma
War and Peace collide in vain
Mankind will suffer anguish and pain
As the earth warms up through ignorance and greed
One day we'll find it hard to feed
In case you'd forgotton we're all the same race
If not in religion but surely in faith
Father daughter son and mother
Why do we find it so hard to love one another
This poem will not stop the pain
But maybe slow the wind of change
How many times have you cried
When on the news more men have died
Jesus and Mohammed said "i am the light"
Why on earth do we take their name in fight
Strip away the colour of skin
You'll find we all own a skeleton within
Remember this: There will come a day when there will be no more
the circle begins.... we're back to war
One day we all will finally depart
Take your body but leave your heart
A final thought as you go about your lives
Try to see the world through each others eyes
Be kind and caring to one another
We've got this planet........ we have no other
