Blessings to you and blessings to the world.

Stop the war 
I say it straight from the start
It's not just breaking down walls and bombing buildings 
It's destroying human hearts 

In lands where conflict's ignite
Where nations clash and people are full of fright
A call for change must arise
And a plea for peace that never dies

Stop the war 
Blood on the hands of politicians, militant groups and even the television 
Don't be scammed 

The leaders give the orders they don't lead the troops 
Off you go to battle while they sit at their desk in their suits 

Question your actions before you pull that Trigger
Is it right or is it making the bigger man bigger 

Stop the war 
People are dying men, women and children 
Fighting against each other to find a peaceful solution ? 

People just want to live their lives 
People just want their space 
Suppression and control suffocates the human race 

Stop the war 
There is no use in killing each other
But I can understand picking up the gun 
If you are suppressed by another 

We are not rats and we will not live in cages 
But we have got to find peace 
And be free from the conflict 
Which has been passed down through the ages 

Stop the war 
We have got to live in peace 
If you don't put down the gun trauma will never cease 

We are intelligent human beings 
And we can find a peaceful solution 
We all have human feelings
So lets all pull together and start a revolution

Boycott the drums of war we must say
Refuse to dance the violent way
Let commerce halt, let trade recede
For peace is what the world truly needs

Stop the war 
From Ukraine's streets to Palestine's shore
The list of strife torn lands must not go on anymore
Somalia, Syria, Myanmar and more
Their land is drenched with sorrow right into the earths core

But boycott not just with empty words
Let actions speak, let truth be heard
Divest from war invest in peace
And watch the flames of hatred cease

Stop the war 
For in our choices we hold the key
To shape a world where all are free
Boycott the war makers take a stand
And build a future where the gun is not in hand

The power of change lies in collective action
Let us strive for a world where peace prevails over conflict 
So we can live together without violent reaction

Use your voice, use your name
Use your human strength, use your fame

Stop the war 
I say it at the end
It's not just bombing homes and hospitals 
It's destroying souls that we cant mend

THANK YOU. That is the first thing that came to mind when I read this masterpiece. The war that left Palestine to rumbles must not be forgotten. The people who had their lives and livelihoods must be given them back. Imagine losing your family, your house, heck even your university. It's a grief too big. We must do our best to help these people.

Yes,, I have also put this poem into a song that you can listen to on my Youtube channel or major music streaming platforms. It's from the heart, it's for change, and for peace across the world. That's the beauty of poetry, and music. It can touch a part of us which is softer than the logical mind.

Hi WAHP, welcome to poetry soup. I like this one. No question some people are getting rich at the expense of ordinary people who would like to live in peace. Amazing what financial gain does to people who lack understanding of what it means to be human....but you know that already! Take care and smiles!!

So much conflict in our world right now, no piece of land or religion is worth dying for. Mankind in his quest to dominate our world will eventually destroy it. Tom

Yes, I agree. My creativity is fuelled by the global human situation at the moment. One voice could turn into 8 billion voices for a better world for us all. I hope so. Thank you for your comment Gary

Yes, something tells me if leaders went to war, the war would be over before it began.
