I hope that my kids can grow up without fear,
In a world where violence and pain aren't near.
Is it too much to hope or idealistic?
Is a world in harmony just unrealistic?

Why can't we all just get along?
I know it's cliche, but would it be wrong,
To live in a world where people are kind
To each other, and there is respect for the mind?

Guns don't kill, but people do,
Why leave them go free 'till they do it to you?
Get the killers off the streets,
Don't wait until it's death you greet.

If people really want to kill,
They'll do it with gun, or car, or even pills
Outlawing the weapon won't undo or stop the crime
Don't wait to punish killers when there isn't time.

Peace--Keli
