People, people everywhere
Nary a human in sight.
Politics, religion, racism
all over
Fanaticism that’s not right.
I have but a small dream
Of people living without fear
In a world at peace with
itself
A universal family, all are
dear.
Without fear of offending
And fear of being offended
Every heart filled with love
Bereft of umbrage and hatred.
Cleanse religious, political
jingoism
With perfume of tolerance ‘n’
love.
Be not a hawk, the bird of
prey,
Be the symbol of peace, the
dove.
Smear not sanguine, the heart
In blood of a single innocent.
Rescind lust for victory and power
Shun the fraud, for ‘tis
transient.
Lead those on perdition’s path,
To manner humane and kind.
Turn bloodthirsty guns ‘n’
bullets
Into petals floatin’ in the wind.
Wipe the arrogance and
hatred,
‘Tis grime of heart
intolerant.
Preserve the treasure of
flowers,
Let the heart shelter love
vibrant.
