Hope...? Poem by Michelle Kazi

Long I waited for us to unite
But all I still see is a fight

War, war, war is all that we declare
Humans cannot imagine the miseries that others bare

My eyes are blind; all I see is a peaceful dove
But my mind tells me this world has a lack of love

I wonder when will this misery end
Because it’s nothing which my hands can mend

When will all be normal again, I don’t know
For I had been hurt and took a very hard blow

It’s been like a hundred years and still there’s rage
I’m thinking when will children grow mature in age

I remember that both our success numbers are six
But this bond is so badly broken; it’s nothing I can fix

You know that this bridge has some hope to survive
Will it remain broken or will it revive

It remains a mystery for us to answer
If it works out well, we all will prancer

I tried to know everything and act clever
But the conclusion now is that I’ll be gone forever
