Title: RIP poem
Post by sandie99 on Jul 31st, 2006, 1:33pm
We build up barricades
who knows when this war ends

we keep on hurting ourselves
does anybody recall why we're fighting for?

Can anybody ever win a war?
It changes lives
it breaks hearts
it tears families apart

Look at a wounded soldier
his scars may heal
but can his broken soul heal, too?

we keep on hurting each other
does anybody recall what this war was for?

Another day
another soldier passed away
another day
another civilian died
another mother has tears in her eyes

Does any leader ever ask:
does this ever end?
does this ever end?
does this ever end?
Maybe
maybe not
it's not their hands which get covered with blood

Does anybody want peace on Earth?
Is it too late...
God, I hope not
I put my hands together and pray
"Let there be a day when all this madness ends
let there be a day when we all can live in peace
and be friends"

Maybe there'll come a day
when all the hatred ends

When the smoke from all the killing clears
Hope remains



This is a poem I just wrote. I dedicate this poem to the Finnish United Nations Military Observer who passed away in Lebanon last week. May he rest in peace.

I don't want to start political debate here, that's not why I posted this poem in here. This is just something I had to write as I watched the UN Military Observers funeral... My uncle used to work as UN Military Observer, so this is a matter close to home, so to say. It could have been him... :'(
