Peace Not War
- a poem written by Patricia Lithuanian.
It is widely used in Speech Choir Presentations.
Peace
not War
Boom! Blood! Flesh! Struggle and Fear,
surrounding in the Atmosphere.
If one is sulky, one is scorned; if one is not a noble, one is a peasant.
There are drugs, abuses, sex and injustices.
And the
only thing that rules the earth is
IMMORALITY.
Shhhhhh! Silence! For the end may come.
Voices are not made to speak the truth but to shout
and SCREAM.
Eyes are not made to see the reality but to hide the facts and cry and weep.
And the hands are not made to reach out but to fight instead!
This is not yet over. This is chaos! This is what we call, WAR!
It was a day of infamy.
Last September 11, 2001, when an airplane crushed its way into human life,
the United States of America's World trade center shattered!
BOOM!
Tranquility and harmony were lost. Roaming
outside BOOM!
Many lives were gone in just a blink of an eye.
Mothers died, fathers vanished, and brothers suffered
leaving no more but distress and pieces of mind and soul.
Guess what the cause is? TERRORISM!
Brought by the power of this indespicable
greed.
Is this the beginning of the 3rd world war or is
this
the featured prophecy of Nostradamus?
God forbids
though in this world where everyone is divided by walls
that separates the east and west through religion
and all living creatures that exist came from only one creator.
TERRORISM,
bloodshed, showering of bullets, bombs and
missiles, biochemical weapons and DEATH!
The Story of why many human beings who were
victimized and sought for moral righteousness.
TERRORISM!
Start
walking on ice where beings die in a shivering cold and lose their lives.
Get out of my life! I was there. I was there. I was there. And shout!
Will there be an end?
End?
End? End? End? End?
Look and you will see war.
Flesh and rage
haunting in the street of US, UK, Afghanistan and now IRAQ.
Listen! And you will hear the cry of the
trouble of
our fate. So now, eliminate all your senses.
Talk and you will not be heard
for your rights are separate from the other
turfs.
Behold
for the riches of life were broken
because
we are dreamers!
STOP! This is hatred, hatred and hatred!
You, who did cause for the voice of the youth.
Youth who had the right
to behold for the unity and progress
of the future year. It’s time to wake up!
It’s time to do something, and the
clock is ticking and the time will be over
and then…
10. Selfishness
9. Arrogance
8. Hate
7. Injustice
6. Pride
5. War
4. Kindness
3. Respect
2. Love, and the last
1. Peace
It is peace and wisdom we want. Like a steel
pad
that serves us on its path
leaving
on its promise land.
May that be all?
We need to embrace the true virtue of peace…love.
Soldiers may march towards war, guns may kill millions of
men, homes may be
shattered and lives may be called in danger but
one
thing is for sure: this is not the end.
There is hope.
We, the youth lays here and wakes up in the advent of war process
save our future, join hands together for what
we
want is Peace not War.
