Pray

The smell of death fills the air,
It is almost impossible to bear,
The scent of life and love seems too far away,
But every night I pray,
That our countries will be in peace rather than pieces,
That god will guide us to a realization,
That will get us through this frustration,
All of man will unite as one,
To fight for human rights,
For the abolishment of discrimination,
Against the men and women that make up our nation,
But until then I will pray,
Until we can open the peace gateway.
