PEACE...A DISTANT DREAM

Have you ever got the feeling?

Of screaming and not being heard,

Have you ever felt the urge?

To fly free like a bird.

All we see is bombs and shelling

And innocent blood on the ground

To us, the laughter of little children

Is only a distant sound.

We saw happy dreams

Only to be left unfulfilled

We did nothing wrong,

Yet now, we are being killed.

Just try to listen and you will hear

The sobs of a child, crying in fear

He sits by his mother’s corpse in blood

While from his eyes, flows a flood.

Where are the days, when people smiled?

When the peaceful dove flew high,

But now, there’s only smoke from bombs

That clouds the once clear sky

What is the rule of this cruel world?

Are rules left at all?

The rule, that asks for death of men

And mighty buildings fall

Let’s try to stop this hatred!

Let’s open the door to peace!

Let’s raise our hands in prayer!

To make this cruelty cease!
