Drums of Peace

Are the drums of peace really beating?
But there is no peace coming.
Look around you across the world
Bombs, missiles and guns fired all in line 

Come and see the blood on the streets
Our fellow humans having no clothes, bed or even a sheet
A 4 year old is crying, his mother dead
Hiding under some debris is a little girl, scared

Why, I wonder, do you kill?
And make others live on the pill?
Don’t you have people you love a family?
Then why do you make others suffer daily?

Let everyone live in peace,
Be friends with others; hug and kiss
Stop the war, I say,
Oh God! Make them stop the war, I pray
