Please Peace Now

This world has become a turbulent place
Full of anger, destruction and hate
So much violence against one another
Humanity turning brother on brother
We need to compromise, to unite, to bond
So peace can be restored, humanity can stand strong.

Why War?

Under attack
Bullets flying
Breaths coming in uneven gasps
Nations embroiled
In war and strife
Peace is the answer
Not bomb or blast
Lives are lost
And torn apart
Because nations can't get on
What the hell are we doing?
Where did we go wrong?
A silence that's so quiet
It's deafening
Descends
It's almost eerie to the ears
Pressures of war are heightening
Going on for years and years.

Heroic Hearts

An army of young men marching
To retain power where it has been misused
To protect and serve the innocent
Who are being tortured and abused
This dance of death
It shows on their flesh
The horrors they have seen
This reality is no comparison
To that childhood dream
And yet they stay
And bravely fight
For justice and for peace
Hoping with all their heart
That one fine day
This war will cease.

A Heroe's Cry

War knows sorrow and disgrace
It knows the horror
That shows on one’s face
It is a horrible extreme
Where lives are lost
By people unseen
We see the carnage
The bloody, the bruised
The unfortunate and abused
The horrors and reality of it all
Are forever imprinted
On the souls of men
Crusaders, visionaries
Voices crying for justice and peace
Fighting a war
In this godforsaken place.

Hope Matters

Hope matters
It keeps us going
It gives faith in times of adversity
The strength and courage to carry on
To keep persevering
Even through the darkest of times
It is a flame
That forever flickers deeply.

Freedom

I felt freedom today
Felt it was right over me
Through me
Was uplifted briefly
In its carefree emotions
No cares, no worries, just peace
For the slightest moment in time
All was still and calm
A sense of new appreciation
Now lives within me.
