"For Peace"
Walk with me with constraints
As I endeavor to be a part of
What never really once was
As complete unification twas..
The night before we were captured,
And brought aboard to "Netherland".
Sing with me, the songs of our captivity
The lyrics of our liberty,
Which are still in demand;
That once was our ancestors hope
And is now dealt towards
Every man's hand.
A song of peace
And not scrutiny,
A place where colors don't change
Nor the sovereignty of our "God".
It is, what it is
You are, who your are,
And the secrets of what you are
Lies deep within his bosom and purposes
The peace we all search for,
Are within his horizon.
So how do I pray for peace
That foreign peace
amongst my fellow man?
How can we justify the death of those
Who fought to no end,
The battle of which we all perceived to win;
When my brothers and sisters are still at war
For a power that's not within their reach,
Nor beginning, nor end;
Trying to belong
To what was once my family
Is now my mother's lover,
And my father's lust...
And they forgot "all" about me!
Yet, I'm expected to contribute a peace
Which cannot be implemented
In a house without a home;
A citizen without a community
To thrive on.
Hence the poor
Still poor,
Carved by the craftsman of death,
sweat, and tears....
Where my "motherland" misses her children,
Longed for, bled for, and died for,
Without the chance of ever telling them
"Good- Bye".
Where the flow of peaceful waters
Gave up her dead,
And "Gorreh" was left standing,
As a shadow
Amongst the shore's hedges.
And the anger of my kinsmen
Were left to feed upon the swines hedges,
And given a "new" name
Identified as a "prodical" people,
And paid the minimum
of the earth's wages
For ages to come.
Still the atmosphere
Beyond the tears and fears of many;
Built a country,
Condusive to their likings,
Yet embraces the souls of our kindness,
And yet...they still refuses to speak to me!
Somebody please explain;
What's the "peace" we all search for,
The rock of each heartbeat to be admired,
The peace in which we all long for
And one day will find.
A peace that's centered in "love"
But until justified,
Will only be the "Peace of our desire".
Unify.....
