It would seem so simple and effective
To seek justice with the barrels of guns
Sit in an office, sign a directive
And spill the blood of daughters and sons
There may be no holy retribution
For war, and peace may not lead to rewards
Seek positive creative solutions
leave peaceful footprints as you march forward
All battlefields should turn into gardens
And swords should beg to be turned into ploughs
I will plant seeds, get the growing started
I must follow what my conscience allows
Nature brings death without my assistance
I give to war only my resistance

What god or mystery created us
Is not for us to know and yet we live
But surely such gifts donated thus
Are not for our denial or to give
Imagine at your own birthday party
Some criminal would try to take the cake
He thinks his claim sounds thought out, pure, hearty
Legalese does not our just desserts make
Try to add to the world with each new day
Leave plus sign all over the equation
This should be the individual’s way
And also on the scale of all nations
Bank with love though all economies cease
Return the investment by making peace
