War

Inspired by the songs and lyrics of Bob Marley



Like three little birds people stop to listen.
To hear songs sang of redemption. 
Pitched by their door steps reminiscing,
Of a time when no woman would cry
And like a natural mystic  their 
Tears would fly,to a place where
The colour of a mans skin
Or the religion he believes in
Holds no more significance
Then the colour of his eyes
A place where everyone 
Could be loved then be loved.


But we live in a world where politicians. 
Stir up hatred by fuelling religious tensions,
Crushing the satisfied souls of generations,
by dropping bombs to silence, songs sang of freedom.
Which reignites, WAR, on already WAR torn nations.
yeah dis a WAR, 
With every new day brings more WAR
Yeah everywhere is WAR,
Yeah me say WAR.
