A Cry for Peace.

The Embrace of Unity

War, oh war

A cruel and heartless beast

A destroyer of homes, a killer of dreams

Leaving only grief and despair in its wake

Innocents suffer, families torn apart

Lives lost, futures uncertain

All for the sake of pride and power

But what do we gain from war?

Nothing but destruction and regret

Hatred and animosity only breed more conflict

While peace and understanding bring healing and growth

The sound of bombs and gunfire

Echo through the streets

Leaving only ruins in their wake

As the cycle of violence repeats

But amid the chaos and destruction

There is still hope for change

For when we come together

We can rearrange

The world we live in

To one of love and peace

Where every person is valued

And differences are released

So let us stand united

And say no to war

For only through unity

Can we open a new door

To a brighter future

Where love and understanding reign

And the horrors of war

Are nothing but a distant pain.

So let us choose to lay down our arms

And embrace each other with open hearts

For in unity and compassion, we will find true strength

And finally know the peace that war can never bring
