Why Can'T We All Be Friends
The world has gone crazy
Countries are at war
Our lives are now uncertain
We are cautious, afraid
Shocked to the core
When will it end?
Innocents dying so needlessly
Families torn apart
Bombs kill everyone concerned
Is there any point pleading
Those select few extremists
Choose to reign terror
Create misery in the world
For the sake of a God they worship
Will they ever see their error?
An embarrassment to their fellow worshippers
Producing racism through fear
They plot their next attack
With no thought for others or themselves
Possessing the belief they will be revered
Violence is never the answer
But to be honest I don’t know what is
No more bloodshed and sorrow
No more grief and mourning
To live in peace would be bliss
We bleed the same blood
Internal organs the same inside
We all have feelings and emotions
Humans, one race not separated
No more fighting will we abide
We stand strong against our threats
Stand side by side, black and white
Pray together whatever your religion
Join in mass unison
One day, we hope, the world will unite
