I welcomed shots of peace, tattered shards ofhappiness. This is a wonderful verse about the world, indicating that all the world’s problems are due to the wrongdoings of people, but that they can be solved by everyone working together. It is a reference to the end of the world, where everyone will be happy and successful.
