IF YOU WANT PEACE. IT IS NOT TOO MUCH
Gustavo M. Galliano

Our Father who cherish Peace,
Teach me to always tell the truth,
Teach me to always be honest,
Teach me to grow in goodness,
Teach me to cultivate humility,
Teach me to respect others,
Teach me to live in society,
Teach me to face the fear,
Teach me to tolerate unbelief,
Teach me to stand stupidity,
Teach me to stay away from evil,
Teach me to clear my anxiety,
Teach me to banish greed,
Teach me to despise greed,
Teach me to ignore envy,
Teach me not to reproduce pride,
Teach me to extol diversity,
Teach me to protect our environment,
Teach me not to be exploited,
Teach me not to be an operator,
Teach me to learn and grasp,
Teach me to teach.
Our Father ... I am so ignorant ...
I ask so much, and what I offer in return?
I offer my soul, my work,
The sores in my hands,
Selfless sacrifice.
You ask me if I want to?
"YES I WANT" is my answer,
I want a world without war, nor crying,
I want Peace, Love and Life.
I don´t dream too much

BLESSED PEACE
Gustavo M. Galliano

Seas of tears,
Deserts full of hate,
Winds full of insults,
they cannot with you, Peace.
Sad shadows of yesterday,
blinding seeds of tomorrow,
gregarious songs, new martyrs,
they cannot with you Peace.
Covers on hands,
Forgetfulness of olive trees,
But nothing and no one ever,
will can overwhelm you, blessed Peace.-

WE NEVER LEAVE
Gustavo M. Galliano

Peace that irradiates harmony,
Embrace my brothers,
Hug me,
Embrace who hates me.
sublime peace,
The same kissing each dawn,
The one for each race and language,
Bless us now.
Peace, do not let them die,
Without you, without hope,
Those who embrace the illusion,
Intertwining love and joy
