The day I heard the news
A war had started in some distant land
I thought it had nothing to do with me
But every day the headlines grew darker
“Our country will now join the war”
And all I could whisper was
“Why the hell…?”
Enemies and allies
Killing one another
And the hatred born from it
Keeps bleeding into the next generation
Stop the war
I whisper quietly
To a sky that’ll never hear me
Stop the war
Still, I have to say it
Every life
Has the same value
War is wrong
You already know that
We don’t need
Your twisted justice anymore
The kindness they taught us in school
The tears beyond the screen
Here, they all seem meaningless
Crushed out so easily
Without even knowing that child’s name
They pull the trigger
And call it “protection”
But what does it mean to protect?
And who are we protecting?
I keep asking myself
If I say I’m scared
Does that make me a coward?
If I don’t shoot
Will I disappear instead?
What does “right” even mean anymore?
I… don’t know
Stop the war
This time a little louder
Even if my voice shakes
I don’t want it to disappear
Stop the war
Every time I repeat it
A part of me breaks away
War is wrong
That should be obvious
At least that truth
I don’t want to lose
