Peace & Love, A Poem by Paula Grattan

UnityandStrength Peace & Love

Anger surrounds me
Frustration too so clear
Indifference, Indifference
Drowning in Indifference

Why don’t they care?
Shouldn’t they care?
I do, I do
Will you care with me?

Friend come with me
Hold my hand
We’ll walk through a field
Look at the beauty around us

Friend come with me
Hold my hand
We’ll walk through a field
Look at what we’re doing

I don’t know what to do
How do I make them see
This world is ours
We destroy it
We desert it
We abandon it

Fix yourself Mother Earth
Mother Nature …

Fight your wars
While we create our own
Peace big brother
Peace my mother
Peace little sister
Peace my father …

Peace, Peace,
Is there such a thing
Peace, Peace,
I’m scared it doesn’t exist

Indifference, Indifference
Drowning in Indifference

Don’t you care?
Come care with me …
Won’t you come and care with me?

Break down the walls
FIGHT FIGHT!!!
Fight for peace …
Fight with words
Fight with attitudes
Fight with ideas

Throw down your guns
Throw out your arms …
Love big brother
Love my Mother
Love little sister
Love my father

Peace and love
Oh peace and love

Idealistic but true
It can happen if we make it
It can happen if we allow it

Peace and love
Peace and love

My true ideals
Peace and love …
