We are one family.
One nation, one world.
But why do we fight?
Why must we fight?

Why is our world engulfed in hatred?
Why do we not have peace?
We are weak. Ignorant.
Blind.

We do not love.
Not like we should.
Where is that peace? That love?

We are one.
It’s time we acted like it.
Together, we are strong.

Feel the peace. Feel the love.
It is there. Find it.
It is small, tiny, nearly invisible.
But it is there, if we look hard enough.

If we find it,
We must nurture it.
Let us take that peace, that love.
And multiply it, by infinity.

So the world,
Our home,
Our family
Can be a better place.
