Alexis Y. Poet Lyric

What Are We Fighting For

I dream about a blessed day,
when we’re unified, standing
hand in hand.
Let’s just put aside our hate,
for heaven’s sake.

Chorus
What are we fighting for?
Let’s end hate’s violent war.
Embrace love, so hate can
be no more.
What are we fighting for?

There’s a pandemic plaguing 
the land.
Because of it, fear has visited 
every man.
It’s an invisible enemy that we
haven’t a clue how to fight.

Chorus 
What are we fighting for?
Let’s end hate’s violent war.
Embrace love, so hate can
be no more.

Our children are the future,
if we go on like this,
What  kind of future will that
be?

Chorus 
What are we fighting for?
Let’s end hate’s violent war.
Embrace love, so hate can
be no more.

Let’s throw down the weapons 
of intolerance and destruction. 
And pick up peace, hope, love
and joy to have in our arsenal.

Chorus 
What are we fighting for?
Let’s end hate’s violent war.
Embrace love, so hate can
be no more.

Bridge 
I choose love, let it consume me.
Only walking in love can eradicate 
the poisonous venom of hate.
What are we fighting for?

I hope for a better tomorrow,
I’m tired of all the sorrow.
Let cross the bridge of hate
and walk into love’s wing.
……………..

So we can know what we’re 
fighting to for
Oh…. What you’re fighting for?

Jennifer Proxenos October 26, 2020 at 9:10 AM The whole world and almost every country is at war for some reason or other. Racisim is a big, why, from as far back as I can remember when we lived in Zambia, all my best friends were African or Indian. Love and hugs, Jennifer.
