Can We Speak Of Freedom In A Rhyme, This Time?

No more war, I swore. I believe in prayer, so why not share? It is time to bring the prayer warriors together? Are you a prayer warrior to tether?

Fathom

Freedom

In war-torn countries

Torn up houses and trees

Babies and parents' cries

Many voicing oh whys

Peace not war

Is my score

My song, not my tally

I want to rally

the prayer warriors

no sir, no slurs,

pray for peace every day

from today

until war ends

and there are amends

****

Where are the human rights

Who has rights when war bites

Let us strive for peace

Pray for peace

Let's pray everywhere

I believe in prayer

Every day at noon, pray

We can be loud enough to be heard that way

Some people have regular prayer time

Let's have regular prayer time and end this rhyme

Fathom Freedom, we can have freedom galore

Pray for Peace to end this war
