I wrote this poem for peace. I also created a music video that you can watch on my YouTube page linked here. Please subscribe there too! The lyrics are below.
We the people standin up for a better day we
Demandin’ peace to reign supreme in every country
In every city, every strip, every territory
No more death in our name’s a demand not a plea!
We the people standin up for a better day we
Demandin’ peace to reign supreme in every country
In every city, every strip, every territory
No more death in our name’s a demand not a plea!
Gaz-rael, for too many a living in hell
Lack of leadership led to a gruesome ground swell
What the hell, you’d think the world would be compelled
To go beyond entrenched ideas that so many have held,
To condemn genocide or concertgoers killed
To have a heart for hostages and homeowners grilled…
…alive, so much hurt to try to survive
Will there ever be a time when these people can thrive?
Caravans carried hope in a hopeless land
Bombed following orders from the IDF man
And there’s blame in this game from Israel to Iran
From Hamas to Hezbollah to the U.S…damn
If we could just give a damn ’bout Palestinians
On a trail or a strip of tears losing their land
I just appeal to you to find your humanity
And condemn innocent death no matter their ID
We the people standin up for a better day we
Demandin’ peace to reign supreme in every country
In every city, every strip, every territory
No more death in our name’s a demand not a plea!
We need a 2-state solution, respect institutions
End Hamas and not help them with their recruitment
Can’t bomb an idea away when you slay
Families fleeing their homes strapped with their babays
Then the moms and babies found seared together
Can we do better? Is hope as light as a feather?
From Gaza to the West Bank and Ramallah
Callin’ on you Biden, Blinken, and Kamala
To let freedom ring for all the innocents dying
To have the class to stop second class citizens crying
Our children deserve better, we’re all in this together
Our kids deserve a future filled with peace and pleasure
Ain’t no religious text that would justify this
And anyone who believes that is just a lie sis
I know we can do it if we have the will
And just commit to making war the only thing that we kill!
We the people standin up for a better day we
Demandin’ peace to reign supreme in every country
In every city, every strip, every territory
No more death in our name’s a demand not a plea!
We the people standin up for a better day we
Demandin’ peace to reign supreme in every country
In every city, every strip, every territory
No more death in our name’s a demand not a plea!
