People Against People
PEOPLE AGAINST PEOPLE
I wonder why…
Is this what they are fighting for?
Do they need to reach the peak
where the innocent kill the weak
Free demonic forces
Turning land into broken dreams?
How many would sober to angst
A clueless three year old and
A weary anxious mother
Losing the greatest shield at home
There he goes in a devastated place
Fighting for others without knowing
When, where, and how
Will the rival of ideologies finally end
How many tears will fall on a tomb
Blaming the culprit who made the mistake?
Is it worth to end the catastrophe
Using all means of bloody ways
To build a NEW HOME?
How many people sleeping one eye closed
Fearing fire rages burning the night
Nowhere to run but trying to survive
How many will live in panic guessing
What are thousand ways to die
To escape the nightmare
They wish they could fly
How many confusing news
Tramping at streets making people’s lives
Disturbed walking at daytime?
This conflict will sooner end
Who will wear the grimace on his face?
The one who fights for peace?
The one who kills for principles?
Nobody…
Nobody…
Nobody wins…
Looking up there, feeling His presence
He never likes seeing
People against people
