WWW. World Without War.
(By Liz Greenwell April 2007- January 2008)
Starlight,moonlight,beacons and beams,
Shining a light and following our dreams.
Remember that loving embrace without strings,
A depth of support that humanity brings.
Tom freezing on the Arctic Circle's ice
Crashing his dreams on a bright yellow bike.
With persistence and courage, he gets it right,
It's taken huge effort to keep goals in sight.
Dreams of a broader scope, a lengthy process,
Can work all your life for balance and justice,
Individuals champion and express,
The way they see the world and its fairness.
Suppression binds us in invisible string,
But always hold fast to that message you bring.
Stars now dazzle and sparkle inside a whale,
Silence cries.....whoever heard of stars in jail?
Can't pick gorgeous little flowers,
Tenderly growing on the ice,
But the world without malice would be so wise.
Can't float way up on a moon cloud,
Or dance on the azure Red Sea,
But we can build our world without poverty.
Can't sail a boat to planet Mars,
Or walk along peach berry skies,
But we can all see the world through peaceful eyes.
Knock and see doors of the world open wide,
People from everywhere gathered inside.
Please come in is the message they'll send,
We don't live in a world without mend.
Europe, ah...Europe, how you make my heart sing,
Stunning,exquisite,I hear chimes and bells ring.
I want to visit you and savour delights,
Your buildings majestic, that light up the night.
Asia exotic , you make my soul go zing,
Colourful,hard working and so exciting.
Bustling and busy, yet quiet grace abounds,
Joy is here in your fragrance,tastes,sights and sounds.
The North of Africa, and the Middle East,
Your cultures so rich, and your markets a feast.
Orchids and roses may give pleasure so fine,
But to warmth of your friendship, the world inclines.
Africa splendorous,dignified and tall,
Amid lands that are parched,a challenge to all,
Sunsets on Africa, pretty in the world,
With rich colour magnificent ; who needs words?
America, America, USA
So many states, but of this one I must say.....
New York, sensational,vibrant jewel bright,
Aerial views over Manhattan by night.
Oceania with nations, great and small,
Australia being the largest of all.
Youthful, mature,sophisticated and fun,
Your flair and panache and your oh so hot sun.
The world is a treasure - North, South, East and West,
And is far too precious to be a conquest.
Generous hearts will build a future that's bright,
World Without War is our basic human right.
Humanity rich and diverse holds the key,
To change the world's thinking and philosophy.
Can all of us build a sound structur for PEACE,
Trust built together should see all the wars cease.
