Beyond our walls an ill wind blows,
A gale of war and strife,
Diseases spreading far and wide
Endangering all life.

The seasons caught in climate change
With no clear start or end,
Bring drought and fires through the land,
The scars may never mend.

Within our walls in solitude,
Tranquility and peace,
Make art and music from our hearts,
Of joy that does not cease.

Spread your found serenity
With family and friends,
To start a counter war of hope
To fight these fearful trends.

Spread your hope like mushroom clouds
To cover every nation,
Make your home the starting point,
Ground zero of imagination.
