Excellence Award in the 'Legendary 2012' competition

Why can't the bitter see
Through their cold and greedy eyes
The love in us that could be
To me, it's no surprise
Why is there no solution;
Tell me do you really try?
To rid the world of pollution
And end mother earth's cry
To heal all nations sores
By spreading peace and love
Uniting man kind as one
Wide spread, as wings of a dove
It dawns on me now
Like a soft sunset glow
Mentality is the artist of reality
That's all we need to know.
