Fight for Peace

Since the day I was born
I was prepared to fight
In a war, which wasn’t my own.

I was told it was important
That I had no choice
I had to fight…but why?

No questions, just obedience
Do what is told..
Just follow where others lead…

Fight! Fight! Fight!
Fight for a cause that I don’t know
Fight because others do

Because this is what they have always done
And their fathers before them
Just like their forefathers..

Fight..for no one knows why…
Honour? Riches?
Stretches of land?

Fight..so that one day
There would be no need to fight..
Fight..so that one day..
There would be peace.

And peace..there shall be
Since that day… there will be no one left to fight!
