Our world today is filled with lies and painful rage Wars, destruction, and fear with senseless hate Many Leaders’ obsessions to become super great Led to Killings without thinking of the one who creates Don’t they worry about the day in hell they’d suffocate Or is it lack of faith, yet thinking everything is fate All they worry about is how history will narrate Heroes, or villains, depends on how you translate sometimes depends on how your faith accommodates Christians believe their faith is superior you shall celebrate Muslims believe heaven is through their way you must navigate Didn’t God tell you to him only you must dedicate? And killing your own is a sin that he shall not tolerate Yet behind the mask of religion you all instigate A war of self- interest then meaninglessly advocate “The older you grew, the wiser you became” Oh, Wait, wait, wait! could you illustrate? Because our leaders have grown into a psychological stage of “Childate” Making decisions that even a child wouldn’t appropriate Now I tell you, the end of the world we shall anticipate For peace is far, far, far away from the stairs of our gates Pray to the only God who taught us how to appreciate And hope that one day Humans will better communicate
Our world today, Safwan Barnawi, October 30, 2016 Childate: is a made up word that simply means "Childish" in my dictionary.
