The End

When we're done cleaning the rubble

From the last wall torn down

When we're done putting back

What we took from the ground

When the last republican and bureaucrat and liberal

Can admit to being a Human Being

When the last stubborn man stops refusing

To learn from who he's met and what he's seen

And there will come a day when there will be

No more enemy, and no one left to hate

And on this day, the Earth will stand up and walk away

When the last line on all the maps

Has been erased

When the last person learns to derive the simple pleasure

Of seeing another's smiling face

When we lose the reasons for divisions

And the separation has gone away

When we know the love will stay

When all the songs have been heard

And all the books have been read

When all the hate is gone and dead

And there will come a day when there will be

No more enemy and on one left to hate

And on this day the Earth will stand up and walk away
