There is no new thing
Under the sun;
So said Solomon, the King of wisdom.

We awaken to sleep
Through another day,
Feeling the blues of
Our leaders seeing red
Over differences of thought.

Heated words bring about
Another cold war;
We are too old
Not to know better,
And too young
To keep dying this way.

No God, no peace;
Know God, know peace;
Those who claim to know Him
Are leaving the world in pieces.

The time has come to say “No”
To the ongoing repayment of
Evil for insult;
Committing random acts of love
Will fulfill the ultimate law of life
And give each of us
A piece of real peace.
