Hearts from a somber and ravaged earth
Waiting for heaven’s staircase to welcome
Any whispers pleading for mercy
So that war takes no more
Souls of children who have yet to birth a voice
Somewhere between freedom and peace
A prayer will know stillness
But at what cost to humanity
Does one more tear even matter to those
Who cannot see beyond darkness?
Keep those prayers afloat in your hearts,
In your dreams,
And one day, perhaps, it will be hatred that will be the illusion
We will awaken from.
