“WORDS FOR YOU AND ME”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~

People of all colors, just like you and me,
wanting all of the same,
little things to be…
Like family, dreams, and peace, but wondering why,
these simple wants,
they always seem to die…

Wars, famine, and crazy strife, is all around,
all the people want is love,
can’t it not be found…
Look here, and then there, a child plays with a gun,
perhaps one trigger pull,
and he’ll kill his future son…

Let’s get together people, our time is running out,
there is no need for friction,
of this I have no doubt…
Take a hand of a different color, their blood runs the same,
for when friendship ensues,
you will never see things aflame …

How about a child’s smile, instead of seeing one cry,
whether it’s east, west, north, or south,
it wouldn’t be a lie…
The little ones needs closeness, and if you share, you’ll see,
the world will then be together,
and it’s people will read all of,
these “Words For You And Me”…
