A babie dies. Her father cries. The world seems cruel. All full of fools. Gun shots up in the air. Kids with out parents everywhere. Hatred in most human eyes. Telling all sorts of lies. Can't they realize. That we're all created equal. But it seems that this is just another sequal. A thousand races. A thousand religions. A thousand cultures. We are all the same. Can we live our lives with out complain. Haven't been in peace on this earth. Ever since my birth. Escaped from my own land. To the land of strangers. Then moved from land, to land to land. Trying to find the right place for my hand. Where it can rest at ease. Just a little peace, please. Just a little peace, please. Hoped for peace. At least. In the land of the free. But non at that tree. Politics everywhere. One always thinks they're better then the other, must they think like that forever?
