Will the Eagle ever fly with the Dove


Terrorists rule and innocents die
Missiles rain down from an unfriendly ski
Which rhetoric do you believe
When there is nothing left except to grieve
Will the eagle ever fly with the dove?

Fire lights an unfriendly scene
As a Synagogue burns in an antisemitic theme
The are you Jewish question sorts the crowd
Banned at University Jews are not allowed
Will the eagle ever fly with the dove?

The cult of personality rises as dictators reign
Their armies  destroying as their refrain
Ordinary people pay the price
With human lives lost in war’s vice
Will the eagle ever fly with the dove?

What it seems is there is never a time 
When its peace on earth and kindness is sublime
How will we find this happiness
Where nations settle and world peace is blessed
Will the eagle ever fly with the dove?
