what the world needs now

what the world needs now

If only we could sit at the table together,
Chalked out a plan with an open mind,
Pardoned writers for stabbing the scriptures,
Forgave the slayers and those naysayers,
With one single goal which would be to find
And make ways for all peace ventures!

If only we could talk it out once and for all,
Leaving the cruel child in us we'd perhaps see,
How easy, how easy, how easy it would be
To erase the lines and marks of all those knotty scars
That histories have written over the bleeding years;
Our winter could meet the spring and the fall!

O leaders; with your hands and minds so tied,
Take the step your fans are waiting to see,
The debts of the past to be smoothly rectified,
The world and its people though different, unified.
Children so worried are waiting to be free,
The table is waiting for adults to be!
