Peace Now
Peace is all I hear you say
most people want it now.
But peace cannot really start
while murder stalks the earth.
The war torn people daily mourn
their latest loss and pain.
Children torn by cluster fury
the bombs of greed still primed.
Sudden lives are ended hourly,
arms dealers count their cash.
Our leaders say we will succeed
while endless misery prevails.
Look, the shattered townships lie,
look, the graveyard’s full.
Has not the time finally come
for all this killing to stop.
Let the sun peep out the cloud,
Let light shine strongly out,
illuminate the darkest of hearts
to put violent thought away.
Peace is all I want to hear
most people need it now.
But peace cannot fully start
while murder stalks our path.
