Peace

Peace

How many more years will it take

before all fighting cease.

Till people love their fellow men

and learn to live in peace.

And every child can have enough

to grow up safe and strong.

And every person in the world

learns how to get along.

Did Jesus die in vain that day

I hope that is not true

He died to make a better place

but that's up to me and you.

Since his death so long ago

Such a lot has changed

With science and technology
But still the greed remained

How would the world receive him

If he came to earth again
Would they listen to his message

To  help their fellow men

Or would many of the people

continue wars of hate
Do they really want peace now
Or is it all too late.

If we could have another chance
To do things differently
The world may be a better place
But greed won't let that be. 


We go to Church and pray for peace
We give to charity
There's food and money in the world 
but it's not shared equally.

One day we hope that things will change
And war and hate will cease
All people will live with dignity
And then we may find peace.
