Our War For "Peace"

Don't you think
It's time to forget,
Time to let go,
To leave behind the fights,
That started long ago.?
Why do we fight,
Like witless children
Over ruined walls.?
Why have we closed
Our hearts to the endless cry,
Of beaten humanity.?
Why do we raze the lands,
Like monsters on loose.?
Why has our brothers' blood
Not moved our heart?
Why do we burn, in the fire of revenge,
Those who never wronged us?
Why do we fight each other
When none of us have a reason?
Peace? God? Why?
Why do we act like strangers,
When someone our own,
Pass by, drenched in blood,
Shed out of the baseless fury
That we have nurtured in our hearts
Like a sapling of burning vengeance?
Why do we hold the swords,
Stained with the blood of strangers.?
Don't you feel that after all these years,
It is finally time to forget,
To forgive and  let go,
And to start anew.
Please.
