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.
