PLEA FOR PEACE
Beasts! Killers!
Soulless beings, devoid of empathy,
Ruthless in your actions,
Inflicting pain without remorse.
What sins have the innocent committed?
Caught in the crossfire of your wars,
Agents of destruction,
Where is your humanity?
You, architects of suffering,
Where is the dialogue,
In your resort to violence,
Claiming innocent lives?
Do you sleep soundly,
Knowing the devastation you wreak,
Children orphaned, hospitals bombed,
What darkness lurks in your mind?
You are unworthy of this world,
Your actions speak of pure evil,
Funding wars, justifying atrocities,
No excuse for the slaughter of innocence.
Why have we descended into this abyss?
As the world watches in silence,
We cannot betray with our silence,
Hear the cries of the children,
In Gaza, DRC, Ukraine, Sudan,
Syria, and beyond,
Let their tears move you to change,
For they too deserve peace and joy.
Do not hoard the beauty of the world,
Let it be for all,
As you once were a child,
So too are they, deserving of love.
Do not be selfish,
Let the children live in peace,
For their innocence is our hope,
And their laughter, our salvation.
