And Saddam's a threat What do we do To nullify and yet Not create more enemies That hate us still more Not start new wars And more bloody gore What is the answer To hate and fear? What can we do To make things clear? We want every person To live in peace To trust in our leaders And for hatred to cease But if we fight war With yet more hate Will we find a solution Or just seal our fate? When you are angry What do you want? A fist in your face A hate-filled taunt? Or some understanding That makes you see That though things are bad You may START to agree I'm not saying it's easy But with tough love You can take the sleazy And with help from above Bring souls together Who are filled with sorrow Where the heart goes Then the mind will follow Don't deal in hate And sneering threat If we kill one another We'll be filled with regret We have one chance And one chance alone To make the world work When it's gone, it's gone Don't let it all slide Down to a war Don't risk the future That will make us all sore Let's heal the sorrow That lies between us all Build bridges to the others And hear their call We were born as brothers And sisters too Don't hurt the many To protect the few If we have tolerance One to another Then our children's children Will one day discover The world is together And Heaven's in our soul When true PEACE is made And LOVE is our goal Please support PEACE DAY on February 15th 2003. Let us come together and build bridges to a better world. The old warlike solutions of yesterday must go. All they create are NEW problems and hatreds for tomorrow. There is never an easy time to start understanding one another but we have to start somewhere. Why not NOW? if we choose to slaughter in the name of peace and harmony what message are we REALLY sending to the future? If you ever march just one time for any cause please make it for this one and on this day. The future of our children and their children's children may depend upon it... Go in Peace on February 15th, for a new world...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
