Peace will come , I say.

But will it be today?

Will humanity 

see our way 

without war? 

Will it happen this year?

Will humanity find a way 

A clear path for the future to exist?

 For our children to inherit a planet 

This only home, still here, still whole, 

Still livable, with food for all? 

Can we encourage dialogue 

between the warring nations ?

Stop the killing, stop the sacrifice 

Of the young , those caught  with nowhere to run.

Those that are forced to hold the weapon 

To the face the monster, that destroys all.

Will they survive with clear minds?

Or will they turn into just robotic killing machines?

With only revenge as their goal

And ear for and ear and tooth for tooth 

Eye for eye and the whole world

Will suffer the madness, just destruction

until no one is left.   


It is up to each of us to keep the peace ,

To do our best, to hope and do our piece.

But what can one do against that monster 

Which rips and uses weapons of destruction 

To mane and kill to destroy leaving lives lost 

Tossed away like unwanted husks 

It takes it fill of blood and dust 

That monster leaves nothing 

A no win situation just destruction. 


But still will those soldiers keep fighting 

Until nothing is left , or will they awake from this horror 

And remember they are human and the world 

needs them to lay their weapons down.

To turn them into tools to farm the land.

For our world is one, only one place for all 

Regardless of colour or creed

 for both the rich and the poor.

Our world is meant for all not just the ones 

who preach greed and money making scams

Deluding the masses with nonsense 

and feeding them lies and delusion.


We are the world and our voices must be heard 

So we can sing this monster of war to sleep.
