East and West Are At It Again

North and South are fighting again
Wasting lives, money, future and fun
War is hell; there, everybody is on the run
Nonsense is their common sin.

Live and let leave
Love and let live
Love and let leave
Leave and let love
Leave and let live
Live and let love.

We are passing by Kenya
West and East are fighting again
There is a major fire in Nigeria
Let’s burn all the guns for fun.

Without guns, we will be safer
Less dead bodies, less wounded victims
Less pain and suffering, less anger, less rancor
Let’s build coalition and create more teams.

Leave and let live
Love and let live
Live and let love
Love and let leave
Leave and let love
Live and let leave.

Let’s live in peace
East and West can become one piece
Let’s take a risk to love
All directions: north, west, under and above.
