Equal Rights

I don’t know how we end up in a war,
become the monsters I see on TV, 
but I felt sick and so sad when I saw 
how it hurts families and kids like me.

I watched the bombs and homes being lost,
how locals were displaced as refugees,
I don’t care what the big wigs say it costs
as our society must help them flee

from the pain and grief, and provide relief
by making a truce and agree not to fight,
help them recover and return to peace,
to all live together with equal rights.

I was just eight when they began this hate,
it’s still not too late to own their mistake.
