81. Please stop fighting!
Are you happy
when innocent people are
suffering from war?
I hope everybody will always smile
Untill I will be
fed of looking at smiling.

82. If there were no war,
People will hold hand in hand
And they will
never leave their hands each other.
Let's go together united out
hearts.
Then we don' have to shed tears in our lives.
83. Wars gnaw not only people
but also animals and plants.
They also
guard us like pure water.
We have to learn from other creatures.
We should
be calm like water
Always with smile and without hatred.

84. You can hear people's wish
from all over the world.
