Missiles don't fly overhead,
not here.
But one day they might.

Look at their faces,
they could be your neighbor.
Paris fashion
adopting their
disaster worn clothes

Their Serbian brothers,
telling their
appalling lies.

Our cold war nemesis,
rattling their
once mighty sabers.

All while disaster drops
from the sky,
leaving behind ruins.

The same destruction as Mother Earth.
earthquakes, hurricanes
and floods.

The disaster of modern war.
This is what it could be like
for us one day.
Watching one potential preview
of what nightmare may come.

Yet its only a taste
anthrax, mustard gas
and nuclear war.

Forces which we've seen,
and have now banned.
existing still today.

Yet Mother Nature
attacks us all.
each and every culture.
indiscriminately.

Under her eyes, we are all one.

Yet religion and
superiority complexes,
driven by ignorance and evil,
prevents us from living
in harmonious cooperation.

Conquering our surroundings together.
science, spirituality
and self development.

Unifying as a world,
of the same people.
with unique experiences.

Underlying earth's
diverse cultural heritage,
there is a story.

one story.

We are all ONE.
