War For Peace

I look in his eyes, and then I realize that life is unfair,
How can my people rise, if we continue to fall in despair?
When will we stand as one, as we sit together as all on track?
When will we hold hands as we rise and never fall back?
As I ask these questions, I wipe off my lonely tears from my eyes,
Staring at these hungry children makes me appreciate my cries,
I can’t compare my pain to theirs, so my tears are truly lies,
I can’t even begin to describe, how I feel deep within,
Qabiil has become a disease–living in our deep skin,
I’m angry at their hunger and pain,
I want to show you my poetry isn’t here for fame,
I simply want to show you, my words are driving me insane,
I plead on my knees, for this world of unease –to trade war for peace.
