Eyes like coals
Burning with malice
Heart like stone
Beating for no one but itself

The cruel claws of greed
Snatch away love
The angry talons of hate
Murder the innocent

When peace settles
Tension is still burning
It’s sad how
Hate and greed overpower peace

Friends turn backs on friends
Parents turn backs on children
War rises in a deadly storm
As peace tries to shine through

My heart aches as I watch
The world I love so much
Slowly being ripped apart by our worst enemy
Hate
