O Lord,

I wanted to ask,

Why do people come with a mask?

Why do they strive to conceal

Their faces, their souls and all that is real?

O Lord ,

Please answer me ,

Why do the angels have to cry?

Why are they shackled,

And what keeps them from flying high?

O Lord

Tell me please,

Why do cannonballs deafen peace?

Why does hate blinds love?

What scarred the white dove?

O Lord

Do you see?

What this mankind is ever going to be?

When will 'I' become 'we'?

Is this ever going to be?
