Amani

If i could change the direction of the world today.... I would start with the new parents As they give births and fill the world I would educate them on love and peace So that they can teach their children so Because charity begins at home Thou some kids may end up making bad choices, they will always have this fundamental lesson embeded in them Then i would move to the churches, the mosques, the schools and community centers Leaving my posters there, with the same message of love Different we are all, yet one we should be No matter the background, the ethnicity or the religion There will always be Ishmael and Isaac Same father yet different views But that can change, we can change it I feel the only holy war there should be, should be the war against evil And when i talk about evil, am not talking oil Neither am i talking about land Neither am i talking about gold and diamond Neither am i talking about supremacy, white or black or yellow You know what i mean Our greediness, hate and oppression to each other is costing us the world So lastly i would sit down with those fighting for peace The united nations and the like And build strategies to cure this catastrophe In that group, i would expect to be sitting with a representative from each country of the world So that the input would be diverse and not one sided So that every man can be heard So that every cry can be heard Because sometimes it's those small cries that become big issue cries Amani=Peace
