They said I said

I was born at the time of war.
They said I won’t survive because times are hard.
I said I would be strong because times are hard.
I was put in expensive and famous school.
They said I will learn good manners and get good education.
I said I found dishonest teachers and discrimination.
In my life
They said I don't know to talk, how to crack jokes.
I said I will still make friends.
They said I am too slow, I am not smart.
I said I will still be rich.
They said Life is too cruel, it will take away your friends, it will take away your brothers, it will take away your family, you will have nothing to turn up to.
I said I will still have hope and hope is all I need.
AT LAST
They said I can't write.
I said see I have written this.

Live and forget

I folded my hand and prayed to God.
Don't know what to ask for, never given this a thought.
They've melt down in sand, they lost a war.
Surprise came from the core, taken everything they've got.

How can I say, problems I have.
My prayer can't come before when I see they've lost more.
When I ask them, calmly they behave.
How can he give this kind of sore, when there isn't any cure?

They say....
For everything there's a reason, written there up above.
There's time for every season, can't stay with one you love.

Please tell me God, why there is time we never wished.
Please tell me God, how you'll make up what you did.
Time.... and time.... and time....
Time.... and time.... and time....
Live and forget....

What’s in the future, there today is gone.
You've not faced all the sorrows you never laid below the wall.
You're a miser, goodness you hold.
Down here we suffered for tomorrow. Tell me how to get over this fall.

They say....
For everything there's a reason, written there up above.
There's time for every season, can't stay with one you love.

Please tell me God, why there is time we never wished.
Please tell me God, how you'll make up what you did.
Time.... and time.... and time....
Time.... and time.... and time....
Live and forget....

War and Peace

War and Peace

War and Peace Seeds of hatred,
Seeds of terror Grown in the minds of horror
Eagles and vultures dive in the skies
Blood and Bodies I can see all around

Lost my son, lost my husband, 
My  father lying in the pool of red,
Daughters and wives being disgraced all around,
No one to listen, not one to hold my hand,

My cries go far and in vain.
So someone cries beyond the borders
I can hear he too lost his father.
There across the fence I can see,
A mother for her son is weeping.

What more mayhem do I see?
No different is this war scene.
I know not who wins who loses,
I can only see pains and bruises.

Wounds and scars never to be filled,
Only shattering memories of bloodshed to live with,
This is all that War can give,
Then why don’t I pray for Peace?

Here I raise my hands OH Lord!
Because war is not the way of world
After all these apocalyptic scene
My soul yearns to live in Peace.
