Call For World Peace Poem by Yassar Ali

The scream of the innocent pierces the silent night
Their loved ones snatched before the morning light
Their homes broken and burnt to the ground
Whilst the babies sleeping inside were never found
Across the battle field a mother blindly runs wild
No worry about her life for life to her is her child
Yet day and night the bombs continue to drop
The innocent wonder if they ever will stop
They ask The Witness to be taken away
Away from the bloodshed to a better day
Ever wonder why the casualties of war
Are usually those people from the poor
Homes destroyed before our very eyes
Their justification is nothing but lies
They claim the end justifies the means
Though nothing justifies the innocent screams
They leave prophet for profit and keep lying
The truth hits them in the face yet their denying
Right now they are drunk with power
But all will change in the final hour
Death truly is just around the corner
If you beg to differ ask the mourner
Whilst chasing the riches we forgot about the strife
For we have to strive to succeed in the afterlife
Will it be our 'final hour'
Or will it be our 'finest hour'
We have been too busy living life on the fast lane
That we forgot all those in the world who are in pain
There are people all over the world dying
Leaving few survivors to spend life crying
Pray that Palestine will soon truly become free
Free from merciless bombings by the army
Yet some want to spend on lofty buildings for show
Over the relics of Blessed people that we know
Spend wisely especially in time of need
