When the towers come down
and the walls are being pounded.
Cluster bombs drop
on the innocent, dumbfounded.
They look to their leaders
with pain and hate.
So what do they do?
The re-taliate
On the other side
they’re just like you and me.
Hiding in the basement
from an RPG.
They say to their leaders,
‘Enough please for today.’
The leaders turn a blind eye,
and fire back anyway.
Bombs on the left
grenades on the right.
Here come some humans,
quick let’s start a fight.
Why are we at war
you and me?
We may be on different sides,
but we’re all humanity.
Peace and love
John Lennon said it best.
why can’t we just get along
and let the past to rest?
It’s an easy thing,
to start a war.
But to advocate peace,
seems so much harder by far.
