Why Can'T We All Be Friends

The world has gone crazy Countries are at war Our lives are now uncertain We are cautious, afraid Shocked to the core When will it end? Innocents dying so needlessly Families torn apart Bombs kill everyone concerned Is there any point pleading Those select few extremists Choose to reign terror Create misery in the world For the sake of a God they worship Will they ever see their error? An embarrassment to their fellow worshippers Producing racism through fear They plot their next attack With no thought for others or themselves Possessing the belief they will be revered Violence is never the answer But to be honest I don’t know what is No more bloodshed and sorrow No more grief and mourning To live in peace would be bliss We bleed the same blood Internal organs the same inside We all have feelings and emotions Humans, one race not separated No more fighting will we abide We stand strong against our threats Stand side by side, black and white Pray together whatever your religion Join in mass unison One day, we hope, the world will unite
