WAR AND PEACE?

You and me need to be free

Let’s not do it like they do

on many a social media channel

You and I don’t need to die

Politicians giving it lies, statistics and flannel

Armies invade, terrorists crusade, the innocent cry

Power, intolerance, religion, race

set the climate, set the pace

Atrocities all over the place

Everybody agrees it’s a disgrace

World stability vanishing without trace

Where’s the compassion, where’s the love?

Media spreading rumours from below and above

All we see is terrorism and war

Politicians and bigots registering points ask the score

Billions spent on missiles and guns

Everybody has got the runs

Yet entrepreneurs make arms deals

They don’t care how death feels

Everybody is still on different sides

American drones never innocently wide

Russian missiles Syrian rebel bound

Holiday jets tragically downed

Tourists massacred on a sun drenched beach

Not what peace and respect preach

Journalists and aid workers without a head

Pools of blood luridly spread

When will these atrocities end?

Where will millions of migrants find a friend?

When will terrorists and extremists be routed out?

What are Religion, Mohammed and God about?

What, where, why and when?

Why are we going through it all again?

Why did the West interfere

in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya?

Why leave Syria alone for ages

without a future as civil war rages?

Politicians argue sharpening their knives

as the World lives in fear,

far and near
