Map To Peace
Too many people spend time
Disrespecting differences
Hunting power
Spreading intolerance
Chasing money
Nourishing greed
Living life
At optimum speed
Never pause to hear
Empathy's wings flap
Feel breeze of compassion
Instead rush into ego's trap
If only we chose
To listen to our hearts
Remind ourselves of similarities
Learned to impart
Humanity's hands hold
The map to peace
Master fundamentals
Conflicts will cease
