With arms outstretched we look for help.
The cries of infants and those who are dead.
Fear of reprisal clamps down the truth
And hope fades as justice dissipates.
Religious,political and cultural divides
Bears its pressure and ignites
A seething pot of revenge and hate
Plotted diligently by invisible hands.
How long can violence carry on
Leaving destruction and misery in its wake ?
It is time to stand in solidarity and share your thoughts
Finally, condemning what is wrong.
