Towards a Capitol of the World

The differences betwen us are less than is commonly imagined We all need food, family, and love Meeting people from differnet cultures has emphasized this to me The true capitol of the world is in the depths of the heart Dancers on an earthly stage We gyrate to weather, politics, and culture In the end we share more than we don't share By letting our eyes and souls meet we can find common ground War is something that can be overcome We should build bridges, not bombs Teach love, not war Let the old and the young join hands Feel the earth beneath our feet Realize that in the end We are all stewards of this blue orb

Well I have no arguments with these lines of poetry, Matthew; I see that Debbie raises some worthy observations.."the only way forward is an impartial education "however the forces that rule have a lot of indirect input.. and pester power I suppose is the best way I can put it.

Ahhh if this were only true ;) man..wars..war is just one way man has found to redistrbute wealth and to hold power..I'm afraid war will never end..in the Bible even the angels war [not that I take this as literally as some] there are only so many ways for man to die..war is just 1. Light & Love [line 3 different]
