I speak to you
all christians muslims and jews
who bear the guise of absolute chaste
who wear the belt of hipocrosy across their waistes
I speak to you
Oh holy men!
for everyday you condemn
eachother, but yourselves most of all
And you will be the cause
If terror shall befall
I speak to you
those with so much to say
who besiege their religion
and their people, betray
those who act like they have Gods might in their hands
who declare themselves rulers and kings of all lands
I speak to you
as a young girl
who is nothing more than an ant in this world
who's voice is too soft and fragile to be heard
whos poems mean nothing but a paper with some words
but still
Let these words be shrill
Let them reach you and grab you and give you the chills
I beseech you
all christians muslims and jews
plant the seeds of fairness
so the flowers of peace can grow through

Yep, that's what we need...flowers of peace.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
