Assimilate, but don't imitate,<br />
absorb the goodness that you see,<br />
rejecting all the bad ways of hate,<br />
assured we can do better if we only try.<br />
<br />
Let us live within each others eyes,<br />
see the world as one united soul,<br />
never more to clash with futile sighs,<br />
for we can do so much better as a whole...<br />
<br />
Move ever forward into clear days of hope,<br />
trusting in the one inescapable fact<br />
that we all depend upon the depth and scope<br />
which comes only when we truly share....<br />

In this muddled, fuddled world of ours, where peace is all too often lost,<br />
men aim to win the wars they wage, though most will lose and rue the cost,<br />
leaving few marks behind to endure beyond the headstones of their graves.<br />
But with the gift of kinship so much more can be had if we strive to save<br />
and share the sparse resources at hand, not throw ever more away,<br />
with little consideration of the needs of new generations on the way....<br />

Add all our answers together<br />
with all the questions we must ask<br />
far too much for a solo my friends<br />

Cast your eyes around the planet<br />
spot the problems that face one and all<br />
none are unrelated to those so close by<br />
poverty on the doorstep, burgers by the wall<br />
<br />
Homeless wander streets in rags<br />
as suits and silks lock more doors<br />
seven hundred thousand empty houses<br />
while families sleep on cold damp floors<br />
<br />
But we know that would be luxury<br />
for countless millions overseas<br />
where food and water remains<br />
harder to find than dread disease<br />
<br />
Politics continues to feed itself<br />
as more demise from paper delays<br />
everyone aware it's so very wrong<br />
we can surely find some better ways<br />
<br />
Fill ships with grain and medications<br />
take dispair from lands rich with needs<br />
some tools and helping hands too<br />
Now it's time to plant those seeds<br />

West whispers that come from the few,<br />
take an overpowering view,<br />
fanned by media and political spin,<br />
but do they reflect honesty within?<br />
<br />
Eastern breezes carry some hard<br />
words in anguish from souls so marred<br />
by turmoils begun long, long before,<br />
many deep wounds from a distant shore.<br />
<br />
Healing won't come from more bullets and knives,<br />
that only ever leaves more grieving mothers and wives<br />

Healing won't come from more bullets and knives,<br />

Sanity shows clear when peace is planned well,<br />
leaving a legacy which our children would gladly tell.<br />
<br />
So come all the real souls who know that true sense,<br />
comes from small actions that are together immense,<br />
not blinkered by tragic losses that cannot be changed,<br />
but building a new future where none will be blamed.<br />
<br />
And those who would spite us in search of more revenge,<br />
are destined to find the waste they propose would never end<br />
the troubles that came before would simply return<br />
and so it will go on until war we can all spurn.<br />
<br />
Waste no more lives or time, send peace missives to everyone,<br />
only when the people of this world speak together as one,<br />
can those who claim to lead us be sure the time has come,<br />
to end all futile strife and see that peace will finally be won.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Some times I think, sometimes I dream</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Of future times that may be less mean</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">When peeps can tell the truth all day</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Not hide behind some smoke screen play</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br/></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">If all the world had listened well</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">When John imagined and did tell</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Everyone that they could help change</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The world from war to peace ain't strange</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br/></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Not that I was so deluded</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">To think that all would be included</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">For many evil plans remain</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Too many men are quite insane</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br/></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Megalomania must be epidemic</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Greed is surely now quite systemic</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Commercial interests rule ever more</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Their power exceeds countries, that's for sure</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br/></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Ah but we few do long for more</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">cooperation and love to endure</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Mesmerised by beauty that transcends</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The cheats and bullies and poor pretence</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br/></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Come let's dance amongst the trees</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Where we can join the birds and bees</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Avoid the traps of urban wares</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Strip away those worldly cares</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br/></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Circle round a simple fire</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Nothing more than root desire</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Poise and grace and passions freed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Indulge in just our basic needs</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br/></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Hold the torches for the other</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Maybe we can still yet discover</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">What man once did have to leave</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">When he first chose to deceive</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br/></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Sometimes I dream......</span></div>
