There’s
a world so very heartless
There’s
a world where people hate
There’s
a world of war and terror
Where
people seek to dominate
A
world where all are fighting something
Does
it make you think and pause
Do
you need an adversary
Just
to have a worthy cause
There’s
so much separation
There’s
so much of we and they
When
it happens not to you and yours
To
most it is okay
I
wonder how it’s possible
It
seems so very odd
That
children die and suffer
From
actions in the name of God
So
much talk of fighting evil
There’s
always someone else to blame
Who
is devoid of wickedness
Who
is devoid of shame
For
those who speak of justice
And
think that vengeance can be earned
When
they search for guilt and innocence
Is
there a lesson to be learned
If
you seek to find the guilty
Search
the mirror that you see
If
you seek to find the innocent
Look
at your enemy
Will
we ever learn the lesson
Will
all the madness ever cease
Will
we surrender all the pretense
Will we ever have a lasting peace
