( 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.
