Mohamed Adel Poet Rhyme

A Question

In the name of what god
In the name of what religion 
Can we shed blood?
Can we allow segregation?

How can we call a war holy?
How can we kill each other heart fully?
How can a murderer turn into a saint?
How can he take souls and well intend?

Why should we be divided by silly boundaries?
Why should we be categorized by color or countries? 
Why should we differ by culture and tongue?
Will we keep suspecting each other for how long?

For how longer will we suppress our humanity?
For how longer will we justify our brutality?
When will we stop arming and start to love?
When will we realize that we’ve been foolish enough?

Humans feel empty inside
That is why they fight…..
Each other, to get rid of this life
They try to find salvation, so they strife!

We should search for happiness…..
But this is not the way
Love is happiness , hatred is dismay
Happiness is in peace, not in war 
So what do we keep fighting for?

When will we actually start to “co-exist”?
This word seems to only in books exist 
Is global peace just a dream?
Painfully so does it seem  

Wars bring nothing but demolition 
So we must stop to make a decision 
Whether we make it our heaven or grave…….
This planet 
Whether to love each other, or not to be …….
Even there to lament!
