If I Were Able to Fly
If I were able to fly,
I would fly through the wind to spread
peace, joy, and love.
If I were able to stop,
I would stop
discrimination, hatress, and crime.
If I were able to spread my wings,
I would smear the world with
understanding, unity, and world peace.
so, since my wings are out of reach,
and none of them are possible in my universe,
I would inject you with these words,
so you can tell each other to replace
hatress with love,
crime with life,
discord with unity,
sorrow with joy
war with world peace,
and killing with ...
Then, if and only if you were able to help.
then life will be brighter for each and every one of you.
Are you committee?
What are you waiting for?
Put on your wings and fly with me.
Spread the word and
lets us fly birds of the World.
