No Heroes, No Martyrs

Honestly, we simply want to live in Peace Stop the rants, the excuses, and stop the racists In reality, we truly want to remain alive in one piece Get rid of the guns, toss away the deadly weapons We are too young to die, stay away from our sons Protect our siblings, our parents and our friends Speak the jargon of common sense, ignore the accents Can't we see that we are one? We are all in pain Stop, don't shoot. Do not pull the trigger Enough is enough. Already, there are too many murders Too many innocent victims, too many murderers Too many lies and too many excuses. Focus on a larger Picture. Put the pointer on respecting each other On caring and ultimately loving each other We need great men and women alive We need each other not dead, but alive No Heroes, No Martyrs, No zeroes Let's think it over, stop and pause We all lose when someone dies Stop the violence, stop the lies Honestly, we simply want to live in Peace Frankly, we simply want to go in one piece When God makes the call Not when a few lunatics cause the fall.
