Is this the world my grandfather gave his life to create.

Is this the world my father left his family to make.

Is this the world my brother hoped for me to create.

Is this the world my sisters babies were sacrificed to make.

Is this the world our loved ones died to create.

Is this the world that honors all the victims of violence and hate.

Is this the world we the living desire to create.

Is this the world responsible for the hollow victories, if we do not rise above the cycles of fear they make.

Is this the world we leave the children, filled with weapons, policies, morals and profits of conflict, destruction and waste.

Is this the world in which the lack of peace cuts my heart like a wooden stake.

Is this the world in which the love of peace can open each and every gate.

Is this the world where all our dreams are fulfilled once we wake.

Is this the world where we finally learn from the mistakes.

Is this the world our mothers prayed to create.

Is this the world, if so i*hope its not to late, to admit we were wrong to hate.
