Where are the rights of the many? Lives packaged into colourful containers Their freedoms being taken away Their hands are tided behind their backs Lives’ vanishing before the moon has a chance to rise Is uncaring hearts the next step in the evolutionary process Lining them up against the wall One by one the bullets, destroy the innocent The shattered reminisce of their humanity being beaten out of those who are still left Tonight we hold a candle light vidual Tomorrow we clamber for a hanging Today like any other day it shall be a pure massacre Where was that religion that we fight so strongly for then? Religion in essence, is the belief of a better day Religion is all the same, yet we chose to be petty and squabble Each sect claims to have a different interpretation The key word is interpretation Like that glass with water half way up or down Either way there is still water in it, so drink up The people are the answer To cure the world of hatreds cancer Unity is the key For the people to be free We no longer seem to know what side of the fence we are on The days are becoming cataclysmic Our minds in a comatose state of denial We are giving up hope, before give peace a chance The darkness is consuming every aspect of our souls We can hear the demons in the back of our minds In time the roles shall be reversed and the angel shall be the one trying to be heard How many times must the bodies be piled in front of our doors before we take notice? If you have a religion take a second look at that book, that comes with it Though shall not kill, litters the pages of each different interpretation In China the people shall be locked away In Argentina they will go hungry In Jerusalem they shall die in a explosion from a car or a tank Which side has the right? Neither when no one has a chance to live Claiming to be a party to Gods will Yet this omni pent being never even spoke These great words twisted to the will of those who desire to use it Blamed for everything that goes wrong Yet rarely praised when everything goes right Everything seems to be Gods will Like we never had a choice in the manner If there was never a choice and it is all its fault Then truly we are simply living just to die Our vocation is six feet under and we seem to be stuck in the waiting room If it were all meant to be, then why would this great power lay down rules to be followed? Choice was given from the moment of conception to the idea of humanity We choose to war, so we can choose to bring peace The people are the answer To cure the world of hatreds cancer Unity is the key For the people to be free The rambling of the masses culling the purity that was once held so high Trading in hope for shining pebbles we like to call diamonds We have severed our own tongues Claiming we can not help those in this world I write till my fingers bleed yet it seems my words are disappearing into an ignorance infested fog Forget what you once knew Stand up for yourself Fight for peace Put down your guns Pick up your hearts that you let drop to the floor Stand up for no longer being a victim Let your spirit fly See the world as it could be Martin Luther King Jr. died for peace A dreamer named Lennon died for sleeping in J.F.K. died for the freedom of people Yet Slobodan Milosevic whiles away his time in jail This tells me when it comes to freedom They wish to quell it before it starts I say they can kill you once, but they can not kill you twice Freedom and peace seems to something they are willing to kill for Then it must be something worth dieing for The people are the answer To cure the world of hatreds cancer Unity is the key For the people to be free Tomorrow comes for those who fear it. Today never ends for those who live it. |

In different ways we have touched the same topic today. Thank you for this, it is written with your heart combined with your reasoning mind. A highly significant read. Unity, Oneness, LOVE, these are the ways to put an end to oll the offence to human rights in our tortured world. Love and Peace. Margherita |
