All My Brothers and Sisters

there was a shooting outside my place on friday night/ sat morning, I think that's where this comes from.

life, love and joy in the inner city hey.

I ask only for the
love
of all my brothers and sisters,
let no words of anger be spoken
let respect be given to all.

Holy, Holy, Holy,
all shall live in peace and harmony,
Gabrial shall desend from heaven
on wings of terracotta
bringing forth the words of the Lord God,
be still he would say,
be at peace with yourself and others
let no man break your spirit
for these are the words of the Lord God.

down the street
where the bad men play
their shooting cats and dogs
kids as well,
no love or peace in poormans town
and that's for bloody sure,
the jobs are gone, don't speak the lingo
to get a job in poormans town
and that's a fact of life.

Holy, Holy, Holy,
praise and bless this
green and pleasent land.

Liked this Bernie - a good response - if there is such a thing. Stanza three wasn't as tight as the rest.  
 
their - they're? 
pleasent - pleasant?

Seems there is a lot of man-made suffering in this world... Wouldn't it be great if people had nothing to fear but mother nature? Yet what can be done about it? 
A very good piece.
