Why We Kill Each Other

Where discord reigns and hope departs, A question haunts our troubled minds, Why do we turn to violence blinds? In lands once bathed in nature's grace, Where harmony adorned each space, Now tainted by a bitter tide, That swells with malice, deep inside. Is it greed that drives our souls astray? A hunger for power, come what may? Or fear that grips our trembling hearts, Fanning flames where understanding departs? We wage our wars, we draw the lines, With blood-soaked hands and twisted minds, But beneath it all, there lies a plea, To grasp the truth, to set us free. For in the midst of this endless strife, Lies a quest to reclaim our shared life, To rise above the primal urge, And seek the path where love can surge. For in our souls, a light still gleams, A glimmer of hope, beyond extremes, To find compassion, bridge the divide, And heal the wounds we cannot hide. Let's listen, then, to our conscience's call, And build a world where peace stands tall, For in the end, we're bound as one, United in a journey not yet done.
