Praying for peace, we ask for God's blessing, for Man's need has never been so pressing. Inhumanity is on the increase, we ask for God's blessing, praying for peace. Devastated by war, cities crumble, despots parade, and the injured stumble. People are forced to do things they abhor; cities crumble, devastated by war. Brutalized and starved, young women get raped; their men were killed fighting, so few escaped. As neighboring territories are carved, young women get raped, brutalized, and starved. Children die, mutilated, and abused when military tensions aren't diffused. There are no morels when the bullets fly, mutilated and abused, children die. Peace is a dream; war is reality, politicians deal in hyperbole. Inflated egos mute a woman's scream, war is reality; peace is a dream.
