COLLECT ALL THE BABIES

Collect all the babies on the face of the earth,

And all the women about to give birth,

Muster all the leaders of every nation,

And insist they look on the next generation,

Ask them seriously about all the dissention,

About wars, weapons and disarmament intention,

Make them believe there is only one way to act,

That is, settling differences with words and facts,

Surely, the vision of children and mother to be,

should unfurl a sense of reason, for leaders to see

That power is not everything, too much will destroy

Precious lives, with the God-given right to live and enjoy.
