WHAT WE SHOULD BE FIGHTING FOR

May we be blessed as humans all across the world…
to stop fighting with our human sisters and brothers…
and put our collective talents and love together
In helping one another….

Imagine all the good we could do 
Imagine our success…
If we all put our collective energies into fighting diseases
Like Alzheimers, Cancer and ALS.

If we as a human race..
helped protect our environment…our animals, our children
If we together fought climate change and poverty…
If we made sure every child could read
and made it our mission that everyone in the world…was free.

If we made a world-wide effort
To ensure hatred, prejudice and war would cease…
If all humans gathered together…
to create a world of everlasting peace.

as a species mankind can do much for good...yet we seem to repeatedly make poor choices to the contrary
