I want to live in a world of peace

I want to live,
In a world of peace,
One where people see,
Not just you and me,
But what is inside,
This material shell of mine,
A world where people care,
Not for just you and me,
But for the world itself,
For that cat by the street,
The dog half-dead,
A grizzly wandering,
That gorilla without a home,
For that tree decaying,
That forest being cut.
A world where you and I,
Can live on and pass on,
To sons and daughters,
For future humankind.
