( A poem I wrote many months ago when muslims were being killed in Palestine, Syria, Iraq, but it still applies in recent refreshed genocide of Palestinians)
Wars round the corner,
wars at every bend
Could it be that all this warring
would never ever end?
Mass massacre and genocide
is what we fear and apprehend
Selfish apartheid oppressing poor folks
On suppressing others they depend!
Why can't folks borrow love
and peace too learn to lend?
For peace-loving persons wars are hard to comprehend
But in which blessed century
will the world its ways amend?
Why not be all sincere
when peace they recommend?
Its hard to not avenge the dead
So to revenge and defend
some will feel the need to offend
Yet the oppressed dying more is the trend
Why can't we all as Adam's progeny
simply unite and blend?
The world's tearing apart, which saviour's gonna mend?
When the scissors of tyranny
all peace efforts ruthlessly rend!
When will all the saviours from heavenly heaven descend?
So we watch and hear all war cries
unto thin air ascend!
When peace be the only choice,
the only probable trend!
Ah, instead of fending off war drums
why peace plans off we fend?
Why peace is so complicated
with double standards at every bend?
Will all state treasuries on aggression alone
their budgets, finances spend?
Why can't every foe we know
turn into a caring friend?
So we're stalked by friendship
and ambushed by love godsend!
A world where warlords and war heroes become zeroes
who in the first place did offend.
With peace may no nation
merely play and pretend!
Hypocrisy is calling freedom fighters terrorists while their State bombing and shelling never end.
