Watching From Above

Watching from above, the world looks small 
But the pain and the suffering, can be felt by all 
In Ukraine and beyond, wars rage on 
And innocent lives are forever gone

Stop the senseless violence and bloodshed 
This war has left too many dead 
The cost of war, we cannot measure 
A world in chaos, that we cannot treasure

This war's reach has gone too far 
Beyond two nations, a global scar 
All nations must make a choice 
To listen to reason or drown in noise

Watching from above, I see a better tomorrow
If we hold on to hope, and banish all sorrow.
We need visionaries, not just leaders 
Who can stop this war, be peace-seekers
