I have visions, that one day, I will be able to say “I was the one that put out the Hiroshima Flame”
The wars and terrorism have ruined people’s lives.
But each step we take of finishing a war, is one small step we take to world peace.
Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe wars take place, yet in America, school shootings kill 17 children.
What happens if your one of those people, striving for peace but everyone needs to take a big step. Yesterday a terrorist attack was carried out,
Somewhere in the middle east,
People run from their homes,
Get on boats and go to sea,
They drown or they are abused,
They pay money and bread too,
And here in Australia, we are all to blame by
Not letting them into our country,
But we all must take a big step
I have visions, that one day, I will be able to say "I was the one that put out the Hiroshima Flame"
