When Will There Be Peace?

Racism, bigotry and discrimination,

Why do we do this to each other?

War and hate is the new fixation,

Destroying mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers.

What will it take to end this insanity,

When will we wake up to peace,

Everywhere I look it's depravity,

When will this all just cease?

Religion, culture and ethnicity,

Everyone is different in some way,

Staying silent creates complicity,

End this immorality, we all have a say.

Children are victims of this abhorrence,

Forgetting what it means to be human,

Forgetting that in some way everyone is foreign,

Make hate not war, reject that which is inhuman.

This world needs us to ascend,

Take a stand against human rights violations,

Make it known that it's condemned,

Quit being so damn complacent.
