In tears that flow worldwide
From the abuses of others
Let us pray

In those that seek power
In order to impose their will
Let us bow our heads

For those people
Whose faith follows blindly
Let us open our eyes

In all those religions
Whose zealots ferment hate
Let our words silence them

For those that see color
On faces of humanity
Let us become rainbow children

For those that love to hate
Seeing red in fashion
Let our hearts bleed

In the spirited minds of good will
Let our hands form the human bonding
In which our fingers can take hold

Let the peace and tranquility
Of a mass of changing opinions
Who see war as a last resort
Stand firm against those
Who see it as a weakness

So as I say
Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Be blessed to continue
In the special religion
That lies within your heart

Capturing the essence
Of a world prayer
In which the words
Will respect everyone’s right
To exist in harmony

In the music of the heavens
Let us all do away with
The means of mass destruction
By the most peaceful means
Of self preservation
Of all the world’s species


Thought: Like most men, I am selfish in that I wish my words will reflect into them bringing peace and tranquility; therefore it would be a miracle to do it worldwide.

Simply great brother D.

It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, & incumbency.
