Choice ????

We are born into this world of trouble and strife with no choice

Sometimes child hood trauma leaves us with no voice

  Children torn apart by war and political argument

Religion held up as a reason to kill and anger vent

To travel on rafts and die in the sea

No choice as children this could have been me or thee

Where is the mercy in a world of turmoil and death?

Capitalism has paid its last dime

Leaving a world of no reason or rhyme

Have and have nots shows up like that sore thumb

How can we be on this earth so long not to have learnt?

This planet is not ours to have burnt

Wild life tries to cling on with paws and bleeding claws

While political leaders are inevitably the cause

Man and equal women could sort it out once and for all

Women have a voice that needs to come forward to shout and call

Peace is only a word but action speaks for change

This world needs to calm and rearrange
