Poem Title:
Poem
I take no sides where conflict exists I condemn all hate, war, violence, and wickedness That leads ultimately to innocent suffering or death I will oppose oppression until my final breath This world I see is here for all to share Not to carve up and owned here and there By oligarchs and governments By dictators who crave annihilation Of any other sovereign nation that will not yield Or share the same ideals I see to many people killed In the name of God, Queen or country These visions they always haunt me I desire a better world than this One where all humanity exists To evolve and grow through love and peace But many call this unrealistic and too simplistic But these are the one who earn from weapons and war These are the governments who send us to war These are the oligarchs who promote war What the hell are we fighting for? Land that belongs to everyone? Money and power that we don't get any of? It's crazy to me and easy to see they pump us full of patriotic glee To inspire our fervour like a disease To keep these wars continually continuing To keep the arguments and hate going To keep the need for funding The military machines of death. Time to change, time for peace Time to unite against this Those who keep driving us as a humanity into this Are not even close to the top of the most intelligent list Yet through mechanism like fear and xenophobia They are able to win the vulnerable over And inspire and instill greater divides among nations Where actually we should be trying to unite Trying to work as an entire entity To finally set humanity free Through liberation of heart and soul Where we are no longer controlled by fear, debt, colour, faith or class Is a unified humanity living in love and peace to much to ask?
