( A poem I wrote in earlier years and months when Muslims were being killed in Iraq, Syria and Palestine but now it applies to killings in Iran as well . A lot of westerners too condemn killing for oil/ resources/ land) Wars round the corner, wars at every bend Could it be that all this warring would never ever end? Mass massacre and genocide is what we fear and apprehend Selfish apartheid oppressing poor folks On suppressing others they depend! Why can't folks borrow love and peace too learn to lend? For peace-loving persons wars are hard to comprehend But in which blessed century will the world its ways amend? Why not be all sincere when peace they recommend? Its hard to not avenge the dead So to revenge and defend Some will need to fend off attack (Yet the oppressed victims die more) Why can't we all as Adam's progeny simply unite and blend? The world's tearing apart, which saviour's gonna mend? When the scissors of tyranny all peace efforts ruthlessly rend! When will all the saviours from heavenly heaven descend? So we watch and hear all war cries unto thin air ascend! When peace be the only choice, the only probable trend! Ah, instead of sending off war drums why peace plans off we fend? Why peace is so complicated and double standards at every bend? Will all state treasuries on aggression alone their budgets, finances spend? Why can't every foe we know turn into a caring friend? So we're stalked by friendship and ambushed by love godsend! A world where warlords and war heroes become zeroes who in the first place did offend. With peace may no nation merely play and pretend! Hypocrisy is calling freedom fighters terrorists while State bombing and shelling they never end.
