Poets Of This War Poem by Lamia Khalifa7

Poets Of This War



We gave up our Eden to cross the bridge to your hell
we keep our eyes wide open as your are sealed shut
At first your will call us liars as we expose the lies you trust
By all that's lost and all that remains
By the sleep in our eyes and the blood in our veins

We swore
Hand in hand we roar
We are the poets of this war
We pray for one we kneel for none
Whole or scattered we bleed as one

Our words will dance around you
to scare you and then to find you
We will restore your faith with a poem
chase your demons with a song
When we sing at first you'll listen
and before you know it your'll sing along
For peace and love have magic
to take you home where you belong

Peace and love not war
Hand in hand we roar
We are the poets of this war
We pray for one we kneel for none
Whole or scattered we bleed as one

Our tales are tales of honor
healing all these acts of horror
Tales about heroes that rise in every crack
of every system
Tales about warriors replacing hate with trust
Tales about how kindness can polish any soul
every piece if rust

polish every soul
Hand in hand we roar
We are the poets of this war
We pray for one we kneel for none
Whole or scattered we bleed as one

One song in unity defies all the fear they plant
One song will show you how the ones we lost
are walking with us hand in hand
How these ancient sands will remember
How January forever changed December
For the power of one and one for all

Hand in hand we roar
We are the poets of this war
We pray for one we kneel for none
Whole or scattered we bleed as one, we bleed as one, we bleed as one
