War

WAR

War.
Listen to that paralyzing word,
War.
Who knew that a 3 letter combo could mean so much more?

War.
The source of millions of deaths,
War.
Only leaves a few thousand left.

War.
People think is a solution to all,
War.
They ignore every single tragic fall.

War.
Makes things worse,
War.
Everyone is immersed.

War.
Every side loses,
War.
Leaves wounds and bruises.

War.
Billions of fires are shot,
War.
Even more lives are lost.

War.
Needs to end,
It can't go on and on.

We need to call everyone our friend,
The lives that are gone are gone.

Our World Would Be Perfect

Our World Would Be Perfect

Our World would be Perfect if we could all just listen,
If all our unique personalities would just glisten.

Our World would be Perfect if we embraced the differences,
If all the bullying and hate finishes.

Our World would be Perfect if not a single fire was shot,
If not even a single life was lost.

Our World would be Perfect if we could all selflessly help out,
If there wasn't a single terrorized scream or shout.

Our World would be Perfect if we learned to work together,
If we knew that it could make things better.

Our World would be Perfect if everyone had food on their plate and a roof above their head,
If everyone was lovingly tucked into bed.

Our World would be Perfect if everyone had a sunrise to look forward to,
If we could paint the world with vivid colors - instead of a dull blue.

Our World would be Perfect,
Just Perfect.

Imagine

Imagine-
That everyone lived under a roof,
Imagine-
If everyone danced to the groove.

Imagine-
That everyone followed their heart,
Imagine-
That families didn't have to be torn apart.

Imagine-
If everyone had food on their plate,
Imagine-
If justice was never delayed.

Imagine-
If everyone would respect one another,
Imagine-
If everyone was loved by a mother.

Imagine-
If there was a cure to every disease,
Imagine-
That everyone could just be pleased.

Imagine-
If everyone could be kind and giving,
Imagine-
If those lost in war could be living.

Imagine-
If everyone in the world could learn,
Imagine-
If homes were built, not burnt.

Imagine-
If Mother Earth wasn't dying,
Imagine-
If our world would be free of lying.

Imagine-
If no one would get into crime and drugs
Imagine-
If there was no such thing as thieves and thugs.

Now Imagine-
That someone would take charge,
Imagine-
That they could change the world at large.

Imagine-
That this could all be true.
Imagine-
That now it's all left up to you.
