Eternal shall this land be free, from strife, and war to ever be.. <br />A land where each one's hand shall grasp, the Moslem, <br />Christian, Jew hold fast.. United Nations hold real tight, <br />to see and do, for all thats right.. Eternal City, shall we say, <br />for all to see a brighter day.. In Middle East we ask for peace, <br />and in this way shall bring release.. Too many delve in hate <br />and shake their fist, this is the way we can't exist.. <br />Not shake the fist; should extend the hand, to make all people <br />understand.. There is no war thats ever won, no problems <br />solved, it's never done.. Take heed, the World, for all's at stake, <br />forever always make mistake.. From far in past should learn <br />to live, and to all peoples compassion give.. To ages dark we <br />shall return, then once again the Universe churn.. <br />Why can't it be, we're all the same, each Nation, Race, just <br />fixed in name.. All blood runs red for all to see, from shore to <br />shore, from sea to sea.. There is no boundary in this life, so <br />why the hate, the fear, the strife.. To love a life, a life to love, <br />it's what's been chosen from above.. This be the answer, <br />choice we choose.. If not be so, we're all to lose.. <br />This is the way most World does feel, not from each people <br />rob and steal.. This is the way the World must face. <br />Or down we go, each Nation, Race..<br /><br />John Leroy Maxwell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-city-eternal/
