One Day

The world needs no army,
It needeth no war,
What it needs is knowledge
And people to understand more.

The world needs no countries,
It needeth no states,
What it needs is a community
That fixes when it breaks.

The world needs no ignorance,
Just a little bit of noticing,
So we can build up what we need
And on this we should be focusing.

One day it will come,
The Promised Day of all ages,
But not until the world has gone,
Has gone through every one of its’ stages.
