A Little More Love Part 2
We need a little more love on this planet
Maybe I'm not the right person to judge all the damage
I used to think we had to live for the moment
But these days "The moment" has innocent people and kids dying in explosions
Why can't we all just live a peaceful life?
Why do we only unite and come together when people die?
Bombs at concerts, School kids and their Friends there,
People talk so I Lend ears,
Every time i write about this my pen tears
I wish I could say the ends near
But by the looks of it, it begins here
People should be able to go to the Cinema or concerts without fear of dying
Guns drawn, Triggers pulled, Knives used , Bomb Explosions, I don't Want to compare the violence
Security is on high alert for a few weeks
Until the threat dies down, then there's a new attack in a new week
Knife attacks, killing innocent people from a few streets
You can live a peaceful life but can't dodge pain
Cowards saying they're killing in gods name
Streets we've walked on for years, are no longer safe to travel
Blaming all Muslims for a few extremists, is like blaming all white people for Jimmy Saville
We're being used as pawns in a game of who wins the power
Every day there's new sins from cowards
I'm speaking of Isis when I say that, to make things clear
They're laughing and smiling, while we face our fears
And try to erase our tears
Sorry, but I refuse to fear them more
Fear will never be in the heart of me
It won't be long now until it's officially declared as war
How many more attacks?, how many more tragedies will it take?
How many more sad anniversaries will we have to add to our calendar dates?
Even though it appears we have a lot more heartbreak to face
I truly believe, that love will always overpower hate
