Let There Be Peace

Let peace be
Let freedom ring
Let love overcome all hateful acts and tragedy
Let harmony sing
And let us all live in unity
With liberty and justice for US ALL
Let there be peace
Let there be peace
Oh Lord let there be peace
And like the great Martin Luther King
We too all have a dream
Now let the dreams of one another
Set each other free
Let there be peace
Let there be peace
Oh Lord, God almighty
Let there be peace

Hi

By far my favorite poem I have ever written. I was 18 and in Senior English class when I wrote it on the one year anniversary of 9/11. My teacher screamed at me to stop writing but I kept writing anyway and I am glad I did. i transfered out of that class that day.
