Stop the War Stop the war — we cry to every sky, Where smoke replaces stars and children die. From Gaza’s grief to Iran’s silent screams, The world is choking on abandoned dreams. O Israel, lay down your wrathful hand, No justice blooms in blood-soaked sand. No future rises on a shattered wall, When vengeance is the only call. And you, O powers...

Just as the elements within our lives are inevitable to intercede There are also uncontrolled forces that have to circle the world Pride, envy, gluttony, lust, sloth, wrath, and greed These 7 deadly sins are sold more than the blooded diamonds and pearls With prayer and faith I stand next to my mother.
