World Power (SW)
world power
it must be nice to be a world power
children who hope and dream for futures of wealth
children who go to school each day with clouds of peace and air of tranquility
children who have days filled with play and joy
it must be nice to be a world power
adults who are hopeful for tomorrow
adults who go to sleep at night in the safety and comfort of their bed
adults who have been shielded from war their entire life
adults who know where their children are
it must be nice to be a world power
a congress who's agenda is to ban social media platforms and regress back to pre-cold war politics
a congress who's more worried about identity politics than the protection of women's rights
a congress who allows supremacy to be showcased and reverberated through the streets and halls of capitol hill
it must be nice being a world power
while children are crying and in fear of death at every turn of their world
every street corner being a possible strike
every place of worship being a possible graveyard
every home a target
it must be nice being a world power
while children may never see their parents again are singing "inshallah I will see my parents again"
the images of genocide forever drawn in their minds
it must be nice being a world power
children so desensitized to violence it has become daily reality
adults who are killed while providing aid
government who want nothing more than to destroy the other side
in a world filled with hate i choose peace
in a world filled with genocide i choose peace
in a world filled with fear i choose peace
it is not gaza or israel, it is people vs people and the sooner we realize this less blood will be on our hands
the children of tomorrow will flourish and grow up in an environment where they too can dream
in a time of uncertainty we must choose peace
in a time of unrest we must humanize one another
in a time of genocide we must remember our similarities
world power or not we all drip the same color
