Peace on Earth

Think back of little boys and girls
Tiny faces, lots of curls
Growing strong and smarter too
Throughout the years whoever knew,
They’d join the ranks as women and men
With guns in hand to free our land,
We sit and wait and watch and hope
Say prayers, have faith, and hear our Pope,
Religious groups they gather strong
In hopes the Gods will hear their song,
Its peace we want on earth this day
But guns and trouble come our way,
The world we know is changing fast
At this rate peace will never last,
Among us prayer and racial tension
Loss of life, in news they mention,
Where are the days when life was good?
No guns, no fear, and live we would,
As things get worse we buy a gun
Protect our family, never run,
But what we do is getting worse
We see our loved ones in a hearse,
People should die at a ripe old age
Not from guns, or cancer or a victim of rage,
Holidays were days of ‘cheer’
Where now the sentiment is fear,
So hold your loved ones, hug them tight
Give up the guns and stop the fight, 
Remove the fears and anger too
Teach your children what we once knew,
To understand the Human worth
And share the love and Peace on Earth
