Our World

By Lauren Hood

Once upon a time is how this starts but…

     does it end with a happily ever after?

Peace was once in this world,

    but disappeared soon after.

We began a war, even had one more,

    and there was slavery too.

Now all over again our peace is going,

    but we need it back, starting with you.

Not for us but for everyone who had to suffer,

    give back the peace we took from others.

Just like a puzzle needs all its pieces,

    the world needs peace, kindness, and love for others.

It’s not all about you, no it’s not all about you,

    but what’s better for us,

    is to stand strong TOGETHER!
