(Here's a song of the violence that's put on activists throughout the world who fight but are silenced and banished in the process! )

This one's for all the peacekeepers,
this one's for all those who fight for their rights.
One easy song,
waiting to bloom and thrive,
this one's for all the peacekeepers...
.
.
.
KA-BANG!

.
.
KA-BANG!
.
.
.
This one's for all the freedom fighters,
this one's for all those who fight for mankind.
One precise song,
wailed between the picket line,
this one's for all the freedom fighters...
.
.
.
KA-BANG!
.
.
.
KA-BANG!

(Another peace campaigner died on Tuesday,
after lying in a coma for nine months,
he was shot in April last year in the Gaza Strip, while shepherding civilians to safety
during a clash.)

This one's for all the pacifiers,
this one's for all those who fight for respite.
Another song,
forgotten and undermined,
this one's for all the pacifiers...
.
.
.
KA-BANG!
.
.
.
KA-BANG!
.
.
.
KA-BANG!
