Poetry

Written after shooting in Paris

Nobody knows what to do
Nobody,
Who and where are you?

United
by division
Different opinions
Can't tell the difference
Right, Wrong
Saving, Killing
Living,Dying

Such sins,
No way to win
It's a world of war
Not a game anymore

Playing with lives
On a life sized game board
No place for mistakes
With our world at stake

Feeling the pain
Defenceless
Feeling the anger
Useless

Taking hope from the hopeless
Giving fear to the fearless
Watch them die
See the life fade from their eyes

Killing each other,
Desperate
To feel strong
Through something so wrong

Bombs being dropped
No time to think
It's fight or flight,
Instinct
Feels so far away
Yet so close to home.
Fighting for peace
Praying we're not alone

If we're not together,
Do we have to be apart,
Just because we're different
Does a war have to start?

Fleeing the terror,
Scared of where we're going
Never knowing
When will be our last moment

Free will
Without a choice
Freedom
In a prison

Stuck on a path
With the option to turn
Trudging, mindlessly,
Fulfilling deaths prophecy

Scared to take a step
Out of line
'Cuz the first one to move
Is the first one to die.

Blindfolded,
Can't see the point
Gagged,
Can't hear my voice

The end of the tunnel,
Too far away
Can't even see
The light today

Dark times
For light souls
Light souls
With heavy hearts

Power in fear
Take away knowledge
Don't cry your tears
Cover your ears

Chained to the sky
Don't know how to fly
We're sure to die.

One last chance
At bravery.
One last chance
At hope.
One last chance
In life.
I can make the difference
I need that chance though.
