Tribute To Japan

It is such a powerful thing when a culture unites. 
When there is no more anger, hatred or fights. 
When people help one another in there time of need. 
It doesn't matter who you are, they only care if you bleed.

These people come out when something has been destroyed.
They are the true heroes, they are the ones deployed. 
Their land will once again reach its true beauty. 
Because everyone will help, its our human duty.

It took a disaster to bring this world to peace. 
Learn from their example, and violence forever cease. 
Most of us don't understand what we are seeing,
that Japan is showing us the true potential in the human being.

Japan is showing the true beauty, that is mankind. 
It is all there love and effort as one people combined.
They say it takes a village to raise a new born. 
Now it will take the world to rebuild, a country that is torn.

I hope no one takes the fourth line the wrong way. They only care if you bleed, because they want to help you. Just some clarity
