When Shall it Be

When shall all wars end

I ask myself.

When shall harmony be the trend

Like a stack of books on a shelf.

 

When shall you write me a song

In the rhythm of peaceful co-existence

To show me that I also belong

To this brotherhood, in all essence.

 

I bear the semblance of an enemy

You take to thought,

You consider me not worth a penny

And thus treat me as naught.

 

I'm a son of mother earth

We all came together

So why constantly wish me death

Like I'm not your brother.

 

When shall all wars end

I ask myself

When shall harmony be the trend

Like a stack of books on a shelf.

 

We are one family

Let love be our watchword,

Let's co-exist peacefully

All in one accord.
