We are like children
Forever fighting over the Earth
Over its land its people
And every dime that its worth.
While people get injured
The innocent dying every day
Those who live are cursed
To watch the world waste away
They squabble over Syria
And quarrel in Egyptian sun
The attacks will wipe out family
Who lost their chance to run
What about Mahatma Gandhi?
And Mandela and MLK?
To wwatch their work sink into the ground
What they have to say?
To watch God's children suffer
The endless torture and pain
Makes my heart tremble
For their work may have been in vain.
