The City Eternal
by
John Leroy Maxwell

Eternal shall this land be free. From strife and war to ever be.
A land where each one's hand shall grasp. The Moslem,
Christian, Jew hold fast. United Nations hold real tight.
To see and do, for all that's right. Eternal City, shall we say.
For all to see a brighter day. In Middle East we ask for Peace.
And in this way shall bring release. Too many delve and shake
their fist. This is the way we can't exist. To shake the fist;
should extend the hand. To make all peoples understand.
There is no war that's ever won; no problems solved,
it's never done. Take heed ,The World, for all's at stake.
For ever always make mistake. From far in past should learn
to live. And to all peoples compassion give. To ages dark
we shall return. Then once again, the Universe churn.
Why can't it be, we're all the same. Each Nation, Race,
just fixed in name. All blood runs red, for all to see.
From Shore to Shore; form Sea to Sea. For every Nation
sun shines bright. And even blessed, Moon, Stars at night.
Where boundaries start, or boundaries end. Where foe
begin, or where be friend. There is no boundary in this life.
So why the hate, the fear, the strife. To love a life, a life to
love. This what's been chose from above. This be the
answer, choice we choose. If not be so, we're all to lose.
This be the way, most World does feel. Not from each
people's rob and steal. This is the way the World must face.
Or down we go, each Nation, Race.
