A Peaceful World
I wonder what would happen if there were no cause for need.
Could there be a peaceful world
where there would be no greed?
I wonder what would happen if there were no cause for doubt.
Could there be a peaceful world
where there would be no rout?
I wonder what would happen if there were no cause for fear.
Could there be a peaceful world
where there would be no spear?
I wonder what would happen if there were no cause for shame.
Could there be a peaceful world
where there would be no blame?
I wonder what would happen if there were no cause for hate.
Could there be a peaceful world
where there would be no spate?
I wonder what would happen if there were no cause for loss.
Could there be a peaceful world
where there would be no boss?
