Aria for Peace

Aria for Peace 

Regional conflict

a land dispute

every side full 

of self belief 

local incursions 

armed staged

global actors 

invasion choreography 

undercover overheads

government funded

backers dig-in bunkers underground

corporations manufacture

ships and drones canons

IEDs tanks Ak-49s software missiles jets to name some

puppet politicians

lies and media

pocket liners

it's the economy stupid

raining metal 

burning terror 

women children  

men annihilation 

soldiers chant

they'll come 

for us

if we not them

but it'll be those

if in their hearts 

in any still alive

find peace within

sit down

protest

cease fire

start again

equality

not religion

oppression 

injustice 

learn love 

poetry sing

karma and forgive

right here right now

one small 

blue planet

is all 

there
