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.

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.

but also animals and plants.
They also guard us like pure water.

Always with smile and without hatred.
