"Why Can’t We Have World Peace?"
by Zaynab Baker
7 peach
Why can’t we have world peace?
How do you think the world would be?
Would there be children constantly dying?
Or would there be homes destroyed?
Would there be dying of hunger?
Or would there be pain from bullets shot in your brain?
What do you imagine the world to be?
Why can’t we have world peace?
Why can’t there be no greed?
Why can’t there be no hatred?
Or why can’t there be no selfishness?
What if we all forgave and forgot?
Or what if we all hadn’t fought?
What if we accepted people for who they are?
Or gave the needy and respect all?
Wouldn’t we all be happy?
Wouldn’t we all feel faithful?
Why can’t we have world peace?
How do you think the world would be?
