Love and Greed

A Poem by Barry

Two powerful forces in our fragile world.

Converse among your enemies,
find ways to not disagree.
Resolve conflicts among each other,
love everyone like a brother.

We shouldn’t have to live like this,
just to survive.
We shouldn’t have to fight like this,
just to stay alive.

There’s no need to live with such hate,
there’s no need to eliminate.
Your wars and violence are unnecessary,
this is not our final plea.

We shouldn’t have to live like this,
just to survive.
We shouldn’t have to fight like this,
just to stay alive.

We are done,
we will no longer stand for your ignorance.
We are done,
we will no longer live with fake innocence.

Drop your guns,
all violence must cease.
Unite as one,
and lets all live in peace.

Rise up to the challenge,
take action.

Because we shouldn’t have to live like this,
just to survive.
We shouldn’t have to fight like this,
just to stay alive.

Greed and money,
control our world.
Love and peace,
fight it, so bold.

Just love,
just love,
just love the world.
