911 for Peace

It's in the paper every day You see it in the headlines and you feel so sick As another life leaves this world - this world so full of hate - but short! Short on compassion, short on humanity Asking myself in vain, shaken by the shock… "Do we even have a chance?" I don't want to die I don't want to kill I don't want to kill I don't want to die We are all human It's time to prove it This is a plea for peace (world peace) To the oppressors of the world (and to…) To the leaders of nations, Corporate profit takers, To the every day citizen Greed, envy, fear, hate- the competition has to stop! When you see someone down - now is the time to pick 'em up Set our difference aside and never look back! I don't want to die I don't want to kill I don't want to kill I don't want to die We are all human It's time to prove it Isn't everybody tired of the fighting? Isn't everybody tired of the killing? Isn't everybody tired of the dying? Hatred? Violence? Fighting? Killing? Dying? *Excerpts from "I Have a Dream" by Dr. Martin Luther King I don't want to die I don't want to kill I don't want to kill I don't want to die We are all human It's time to prove it
