War and Peace

When will all the wars end, we plead to know,
When will the head of country truly think?
For common folk, to perish as they go,
Their lives mere pawns to sate the leader's brink.

Must one lay down their life, their dreams, their all,
To satisfy the ego of the high?
While wise men hide, behind the curtain's fall,
The world at war, no hope in sight, oh, why?

Who shall rise and take the lead, we ask,
When wisest souls stay hidden, shrouded deep?
For fear of government's menacing task,
Declaring criminals those who dare speak.

So many brothers, sisters left displaced,
Orphaned children weep, their sorrows vast.

Their tender years forever interlaced,
With silence of the people, unsurpassed.

We mustn't let the criminals decide,
Our fate, our lives, our nation's destiny.
Their blinded eyes, they cannot see the tide,
Of pain and suffering, our hearts decree.

A voice must rise amidst the lost and pained,
To find the courage and speak out, unfurled.
Through nonviolent revolt, change ordained,
Each one must play their part within this world.

As voices unite, they reach the deafened ears,
Of those in power, who silence the cries.
And one day, hope shall conquer all our fears,
A war-free world, where peace forever lies.

So let us wake, arise from slumber's hold,
And strive for harmony, both young and old.
