Paradox

We've seen it happen across the World,
Around us has a storm unfurled,
We sit and watch, immune to the pain,
While the world around us goes insane.

Our life is safe, our life is good,
while people kill for the sake of food,
We eat a bit, leave some on the plate,
While people starve, it goes to waste.

Live in Peace says the Lord,
While people kill in the name of God,
Where is the peace, where is the faith?
Had no Prophet foreseen this fate?

We say "Make the world a better place",
While people kill to conquer states.
Some bullets and some blood are all it takes.
While the rest of the world watches, and waits.

Emotions, they all go hand in glove,
While people Kill in the name of Love,
Is this the paradox? The twist of fate ?
Is there nothing to distinguish Love from hate?

We've seen it happen across the World,
Around us has a storm unfurled,
We sit and watch, immune to the pain,
While the world around us goes insane.
