Destructive paths and narrowed minds

Wait for someone to cross that line

Bombs ignite as they start their cars

Problems unsolved; left only scars

Pushing viewpoints and pointing fingers

The stench of death is all that lingers

Torn in two and divide by bars

Always fighting; peace is ours

Peace in the east

Seems to be ceased

Shattered dreams and scattered hopes

As the assassin zeros his scope

Rising forces; using sources

Of destruction; playing war games

How much blood must be spilled

Is this war worth the guilt

If they must, inflict pain

What have they come to gain

Peace in the east

Seems to be ceased

Sons & fathers; mothers & daughters

Try to survive their governments slaughter

Children play with little hope

With broken families, they try to cope

Peace in the east is so blind

Running circles in my mind

We are one & we share the land

Why can’t they just understand

Peace in the east

Seems to be ceased
