“World Peace

There’s a place in all hearts
where sunshine meets the day
hatred isn’t part of you
but you follow anyway.

Lay down your arms
hug your fellow man
God has said “we’re brothers”
in your heart you understand.

Trembling hearts of anger
crushes your very soul
part of you wants to walk away
you just don’t want no more.

World Peace waits for all of us
like the thousand stars above
open arms, and a breath away
so much easier to Love.”
