To be one

A little girl looked outside

To her, life is a joyful ride

But one day she sees the news,

That changes all her views.

Terrorism all around

Random massacres in random towns.

Just to prove that they are stronger

So many lives could have lasted longer

All around much havoc is caused

So many priceless lives are lost.

The little girl says, “To be one, we’ve learned.

Why has the world taken an opposite turn?”

Discrimination between,

Every single thing is seen

Why do people think that one is right?

Who cares if someone is black or white?

Why always be partial to one?

Why not daughter but to son?

 The little girl says, “To be one, we’ve learned.

Why has the world taken an opposite turn?”

Why do hurt that of our own race?

To cause pain on every innocent face.

Why is it power, people want to show?

If they do another way they can go.

Try to be peaceful and discourage fights,

Do the good, and show what’s right.

You see our main flaw is greed

To be the best is what we need.

To want more power than any other,

Is what prevents us from working together.

What we have to do, is show what’s right.

We should be one to make the world bright

And no one can defeat us if we hold hands.

We’d be one; United we’d stand.

So think about what you read today

We should all try to change our ways

And it does make a difference between you and me.

As Gandhiji said “be the change you want to see”
