Here are examples for you to review:

Praying that people can find

Easy ways to say I’m sorry

And making them shake each other’s hand,

Caring for both side’s feelings and

Enjoying when I see smiles.

Watch death invade the land

And wonder how many more babies will die, but

Really never caring very much.
