The seed of hate is growing

in little children�s heads,

and like a river flowing

to �Generation-Next�.


This hate, silently growing,

becomes a stream of blood

and bombs are softly falling

in everybody�s heart.

Around minds high walls

are built of stones from history.

one generation later

not destroyable, you�ll see.

Teach children peace,

teach wisdom-

too many people died!


Let �Generation-Next�

grow up as friends-

for mankind�s pride!

My your soul be at peace my friend,we know you're not all that bad..

Peace be with you & may God bless 'YOU'.. 2..
