Night Peace and War Hope in a Versed Season
Afar is heard the noise of litt lambs leading to the season soon at hand. Quiet night brings peace to earth in blight. Why cannot all men be brought to terms instead of blighting people with germs. Why must they fight for more, strive to gain and gain with futile war. It seems insane to work and slave to fight and live this world to save. For men who have no care to get their part and their share. Yet there's hope when all is done. The world will glow with sun and power so people won't have to hide.
