An Ode To My World.

Making Peace.

We all share one planet,

So why do we all destroy it?

And the government who say

They care,

Give me quite a scare.

Humans destroying other humans,

They destroy our planet, too;

So much pain and human-

suffering, even in the eyes

of the young.

Can we not learn to live in

peace?

Is it not the right thing to do?

It seems the world is unequal,

In a world that is supposed to be

tranquil.

I'm afraid we can't change the world,

But we can change our hearts;

Creating peace in others,

Even if they are not our brothers;

So, even if just for today,

Let us make peace and be ok,

Look inside your hearts,

It's not too much to ask.
