We bomb you
You bomb us
We bomb you again with more bombs
You try to catch up with us
It looks like a silly childish game
With expensive explosives
And dire consequences
Is this how mature people solve problems?
Is death and destruction what brings us peace?
I read the news
It’s been three years
What do they think a few more years will do
Besides adding to the carnage of war?
We are ‘grown up’ people
Playing a most dangerous and devastating game
The real game of war

I see a street in ruins
Buildings made to look like rubbles from bombing
Two firefighters are holding up an injured woman on either side
Her arm in their arms, helping her walk
What could justify such a scene?
What causes the leaders of a country
To attack civilians in a war?
Why do we still have wars anyway?
Why does one country need to conquer another one?
Why should one country be threatened by another one?
Why should the alliances not be international?
Why do we still have war?

There are no mountains without earthquakes
Tell me about your earthquake
Tell me what caused you to become a majestic mountain
Holding your head high
Yet as humble as the earth of which you are made of
The challenges of our lives
Like earthquakes
Disrupt the normal state of affairs
They reshape the landscape of our spirit
With a thunderous roar
They destroy the structures present
But in their wake
Arise magnificent mountains
A testament to the pain of destruction
And the rise of new formations
