This is a poem I wrote quite awhile back. I bit long I know, but any comments are welcome  There is a war going on Just around the corner And down the street from where I live. Humans killing humans over color of skin, people of kin, Different religions, beliefs, The country’s flag that they bare And the land that they have to share. Mothers giving their babies as missiles To the government fighting for a cause, A break from unjustified laws Yet wanting a pause from the screaming. The sun beaming on a terrain That has broken insane trying to make a gain using hate, While making everyone else face the fate. I once heard through the grapevine That there’s no use in calling yourself good If you don’t do what you should to stop the war That’s going on just around the corner And down the street from where you live. Why stand there doing nothing, letting people die Acting as if everything is great And not a cloud in the sky While the bullets fly into an innocent eye You stop and make a sandwich for lunch? You can’t call yourself good, And then so ‘Oh, well I would if I could,’ Because either way you look at it, you can. And I am. I’m packing my bag, my white dove, And going just around the corner And down the street from where I live. And if anyone walks through that door And asks for my description, You tell him I am the one with the intermixed accent, Slightly British, With a touch of southern charm who sometimes speaks in French. And don’t forget to mention I’m a white Christian African queen who dares to be seen With the Hindus, the Muslims, And every belief and color in between, And lives on no grounds Except for the ones that I believe in. And if he asks where I am, Tell him I am taking a stand, And lending a peaceful hand, Just around the corner, And down the street from where I live. |
