Kuwait - Iraq 1990

Written just a few weeks prior the kuwait-iraq war in 1990.

so much talk about Peace
yet nothing's been done
i see war against men in
every nation
war against time
in every second
bloodshed from the early
days of creation

why must there be a reason
for all of our actions
why must there be a reason
for dropping bombs and
firing missiles
destroying what used to be
homes of love untorn

why can't we live in harmony
living together in Peace
why do we have to take sides
on who's good and who's bad
can't we leave this childishness
and lead our lives to the
assembly of great men

why must we have more than
we should
can't we be thankful to the Lord
for little things He's granted us
why do we see each person
so far apart from our very us
we say we are not racists
yet we still condemn colours
religions and status!

when is this war going to end
do we have to wait before
its too late
seeing the pranks backfire
when He decides to stuff His toys
into bags of annihilation

so what if i'm a muslim,
christian or jew
i'm still a human being
i want to see another day through
perhaps with my children
perhaps with my people
perhaps to even say goodnight
without have to fear
what's going to happen
