Peace Not War
by Patricia Lithuanian
Boom! blood, flesh, struggle and fear
surrounding in the atmosphere
if one is sulky, one is scorned
if one is not a noble, one is a peasant
there are crimes, abuses, hates and injustices
and the only thing that rules the earth is
immorality
Sshhh… silence,
for the end may come
voices are not made to speak the truth,
but to shout and scream!
eyes are not made to see the reality,
but to hide the facts and cry, and weep
and the hands are not made to reach out
but to fight instead!
This is not yet over
this is chaos
this is what we call
WAR!!!
It was a day of in famine
last September 11, 2001
when an airplane crashed it’s way into human
life!
The United States of America’s
World Trade Center
Shattered! Boom!
tranquillity and harmony was lost
roaming outsider, Boom!
Many lives were gone in just a blink of an eye
mothers died, fathers vanished and brothers
suffered
leaving no more but distress
and pieces of mind and soul
Guess what the cause is?
TERRORISM!!!
brought by the power of this indespicable greed
This is the beginning of the 3rd world war, or
the featured
prophecy of Nostradamus
God forbid though in this world
where everyone is divided by walls
that separates east and west through religion
and all living creatures that exists
came from only one creator
TERRORISM!!
Bloodshed,
showering of bullets,
bombs and missiles
biochemical weapons,
and death!
The story of why many human beings
who were victimized and sought for moral
righteousness
Terrorism!
Start walking on ice where beings die,
in a shivering cold and lose their lives
GET OUT OF MY LIFE!!!
I was there, I was there, I was there
and shout!
Listen, and you will hear the cry of the trouble
of our faith
so now, eliminate all your senses!
Talk, and you will not be heard
for your rights are separate from the other turfs
Behold
For the riches of life were broken
because, we are dreamers
STOP! This are all hatred, hatred and hatred!
You who did cause for the voices of the youth
Youth who have the right to be hold
for the unity and progress of the future year
It’s time to wake up!
It’s time to do something!
the clock is ticking…
and then,
10 selfishness, 9 arrogance
8 hate, 7 injustice, 6 pride, 5 war
4 kindness, 3 respect, 2 love
and at last, 1 peace
It is peace and wisdom we want
like a steel pad that serves us on its path
May that be all?
we need to show the true virtue of peace, love
soldiers may march towards the war
guns may kill millions of men
homes may be shuttered
and lives may be called in danger
but one thing is for sure
this is not the end
there is hope
We, the youth lays here and wakes up in the
advent of war processes
save our future
join hands together
for what we want is
Peace Not War.
