Wait....
I hear you
As your life falls beneath your feet,
Blood being washed off apathetic hands,
Whose perverse pretences appear true,
Who preach lies and craft "necessary" plans.

A disturbed game, throw the dice,
Kill again, once, twice.

I hear you
Children with guns under their arms,
Children marching in fear,
Children watching behind their backs,
CHILDREN shed a tear.

Women in Guetamala raped in the street,
Just for being women, human rights at their feet.

The search for redemption is far from over,
And when the prospect is near,
Another bomb is fired and the land is clear...
Clear of life!

I wonder if a ruler were to take their hands,
And bury the bodies in the sands,
Would they think before they swore
"I declare this country at war"?

Segregation, discrimination,
This is not united,
Slaughtering and seperating,
As a world we are divided.

We all live in one world,
Share warm blood,
Whether we walk on concrete, sand or mud, we walk on this EARTH!

Feel our people,
Empathy is the key,
Feel fear, feel pain,
Fel you, feel me.
Those with no-one,
Those with scars, those who are yet to be victimised from afar.
Things will change if we come together,
If all are viewed equally we can endeavor.
So all who view themselves higher, turn down your nose,
Please listen to what i propose:

When you meet a person, feel them inside,
Dont judge or segregate them,
Too many rivers have been cried,
Too many bombs have been fired,
Too many lives lost,
Too many guns shot at too great a cost.

The piercing screams, the harrowing tales as blood trickles down a grate,
Stories untold lies unfold as minds are filled with hate.
This needs to stop, we must be heard.
Peace has to happen.....
So spread the word.

Thankyou, I welcome your comments.
