~ WAR ~

When the rooster crowed, I stood there,
Hands ****** from the night before,
The dust settling, the bodies emerging,
Like waves of terror crashing upon the shore

I am only seven, there are many dreams I have yet to have
Like of the place where I used to live,
Where the skies were clear, and the sun was bright,
Now nothing seems to go right, even if I've given all I can give

My mother once said, "Bravest are the souls who fight the hardest battles,"
But mama, I'm no soldier
I'm merely a boy whose toys were ripped apart by the exploding shells
And whose life burn with ashes, fire and hell

I'm only seven, but I am no fighter....I just want

~ PEACE ~

You see that tall skyscraper over there?
I'm going to build one just like it someday,
But it will not be a touring spot on display...
it will be my castle, a fortress to stop all those in my way

I am only seven, but I know I have big dreams
To hold the most power in the room, to have the prettiest girl beside me,
Like the movies I have watched, the sky is the limit
And it might be a tad bit cliche but I'll make sure everybody sees it

Greed is not the word that I would exactly use,
But know that I will choose my happiness every single time
I'm not really a fan of violence either
But for this cause, exactly, I'm willing to commit crimes


*Kids who live without knowing peace, and kids who live withou knowing war, have different values
