Why all these abominable human massacres?
Inventing such hideous weapons of mass-destruction,
Disregarding the casualties,
The lives of humans, their homes, their land.
Why pick up a gun when you can pick up a book?
Why drop a bomb at your neighbour's front door instead of roses?
What would it mean to someone living in a warzone if suddenly world peace was announced?
Is it too difficult to find the light through this nebulous night?
Is the gravity of this black hole too strong for us to clamber out?
Can humanity mean peace, love and faith ever again?
Will this tumultuous atmosphere clear for blue skies?
