Who Asked For Peace?

Wow this poem is old, I was 12.... (2009)

 

 Who asked for peace

At 12:00 in the chi?

Or in harlem New York by their mouth?

Who asked for peace

When the Klu Klux Klan cries?

Who asked for peace for those tourists in the south?

Who asked for peace

For kids no one seems to care about?

Who asked for peace

For the Neo-Nazi preying on the un-expecting Jew?

Who asked for peace without having to shout?

Or what about the skin head that doesn’t care what he do

Who asked for peace?

 

Who asked for peace for the

Kids who get shot each year?

Or their family who have to cry

Undying tears?

Who asked for peace

For the kids caught up in the streets?

Or the secrets that certain people

Are forced to keep?

Who asked for peace?

 

I did.
