The last gun on Earth

It had to be history.
We had to,
Or still need to learn:
Delicacy and wisdom,
To cherish life,
And love therein,
To overcome,
And live together in peace ...

Can we make do with history,
Shall we choose to share
Rather than fight,
To show and care
For the love of life,
To make happiness the norm
Rather than strife,
To give life its worth
By living together
Happy and free?

We are history
When together all,
We work to sustain it ...
Life to the beauty of the planet,
Love to the bounty of humanity,
With the flow of our living hearts:
Fulfilling,
We are history !

The beginning of dignity
