Aria for Peace

Aria for Peace 

Regional conflict

land disputes

every side full 

of self belief 

local incursions 

armed to the teeth 

global actors 

choreographique

overhead undercover

government funded

backers dig-in 

bunkers underground

corporate war machines 

subs and drones unseen 

IEDs tanks Ak-s software missiles jets ships hardware 

politicians propaganda 

media puppets 

pocket liners

the economy stupid

burning terror 

women children   

raining metal 

annihilation

ancient scores

forever wars

human flaws

phycology 

if not them

soldiers chant

they'll come 

for us

sit down

stand up 

cease fire

all over 

it'll be those

who give their hearts 

surrender 

find peace 

look within

learn love 

share poetry 

karma forgive

celebrate 

one blue planet

is all there is

for everyone
