Fight for Peace

I ran
both sides moved
so swiftly, like fast trains
blurred, I did not
nor did I stop
to find out what
 
I stopped
had to
my legs were weak
I wiped
what’s dripping down my face
but I could not
 
I saw
my mother
my father
my mother was rocking me gently
I recaptured a voice so familiar
I recaptured love
 
I woke
found myself among beds
the one to my left
had bandages around his head
the one to my right
I was too shocked to describe
 
I was drowned in
  Pain
     Hatred
         Anger
             Sadness
                Helplessness…                
   
what had happened to this world?
aren’t we supposed to acquire civilization?
why should there still be wars?
why should people suffer for politicians’ follies
            their ambitions,
   their greed,
                 their religious beliefs,
       their manipulations?
 
their excuses are inexcusable and
they pretend to bring peace
but how many peace talks have been sincere
when every participant is selfish
when none trusts none
 
Nobel Price for Peace
Ha!  It was given to Obama
tell me just what he has done to deserve it
 
money is sent into the sky
money is fired into people’s body
money falls from above
            just to kill those down below
money that can be a treasure
money that can build a beautiful world
            now goes in vain
 
Fight for Peace and not against each other!
