Rating: 5.0


'CAN I BE YOUR FRIEND'

Said the Arab to the jew!
Course you can my friend meet my sister too!
Do you want to meet my daughter, who loves an Iranian Guy,
They have some children their hopes are so high.
Germans and West Indians, I have so many friends,
Why do we all fall out Ill never comprehend?
Chinese, English, Scottish, Japanese folk as well!
Irish, non comformists, Catholics as well,
We all have one thing in common, we have a common blend!
We are all our Gods children and happy to the end!
Most of us are blind we have never seen each others face,
Some of us have social problems, that is no disgrace!
But we are all the same, Children of this race!
