Peace

Peace

A Poem by insanity
"

Give peace a chance

"

You take so much

Yet you never give back

You know so little

Always on the attack

 

Corruption and greed your vices

Weapons and warheads your tools

Mothers and families break down

At the hands of these fools

 

But you keep claiming

You’re fighting the good fight

So deluded and empty

That you think this cause is right

 

Blood fills the streets

As we lay empty, full of fear

With emotions so hollow

The answers seem so unclear

 

The media your device

To spread your disease

We look on, mindless

Glued to our TVs

 

Yet we do nothing

We sit idly by

As mothers and fathers

Fall to their knees and cry

 

Not a peep or a whisper

No armies in the street

No protests at universities

We gladly admit defeat


When will we ask the questions

Stop believing their lies

Seize the throne
Answer our fallen heroes cries

 

We must rise to the call

And gnaw at the hand that feeds

We must drink of the cup

And bite until it bleeds

 

Hundreds of faithful fill the streets

The time to rise up is near

The power is within reach

The time to ascend is here


For our message to ring clear

The hatred must cease

Spread the word

All we want is peace
