War
The cold, bloody axe
Splits them again, choosing hate
As their engagement
Peace is buried now
In decades of sand and dust
While deep fear takes root
Who will remind us
We are all human beings
And that is what counts
War is a failure
To speak for humanity
Letting weapons talk
Mounds of bloody flesh
Dead children in mother’s arms
Will not deter them
Children are fodder
Hostages are brutalized
No one thinks of love
This is human beings
Shedding their right to glory
For the choice to kill
The sane have no voice
The peacemakers are stifled
War’s engine prevails
This is all of us
What we keep choosing to be
Noble words seem cheap
