world peace

Why can't there be world peace,

This violence all around us! truly it must cease,

All these different races trying to intermix,

Government throwing money at the problem obviously it won't fix,

We've got big issues that we can agree,

But this world could be a better place just from you and me,

Love one another and treat everyone just like their a friend,

That's how we can get along and really start to mend,

Respect others religion we all should have our choice,

Its sad to see when bad things happen some others they rejoice,

We all pray to the one god he just goes by a different name,

And using his name as an excuse you truly should feel shame,

He says in his book love thy neighbour,

So why do so many believers have such bad behaviour,

Be a lover not a hater,

 That will make this world so much greater,

 All life is precious and we can't get it back,

 So tell me how in good faith can these terrorist attack,

 Show some compassion and empathy for your fellow man,

And a safe happier world together I'm sure we certainly can,

Peace is achievable and where the generation to do it,

So lets put down our weapons and try to get down to it,

This planet of ours has enough sorrow,

 Let's work together hand in hand to build a better tomorrow,

Lennon sang imagine all the people living life in peace,

 And this is achievable everybody if the violence would just cease,

I think our kids deserve it they've got enough on their plate,

So put aside your prejudice and call each other mate.
