{People First} We have of much concern a worldwide situation, needing to set folks an example in our daily life everyone of us need to come together become a Family, a Great Nation Violent acts have been around now since our beginning it’s time to change, too this new age millennium Let’s start by shifting, our anguish, frustrations to mature We need this New Beginning to solve Life’s happy endings Let’s case our weapons, free love for work, play, inspire
by reaching-out with open arms, too end all this violence never 'deadly gunfire' Be as it may, while all will pray for love of 'World Peace'
