War On Peace

  War On Peace
Streetart By ICY & SOT (Iran)


I see yet another scene,
War, war the goggle box screams
Wars on streets, kids fighting back,
All for their solution, a joint or some crack,
This is not Utopia,
Responsibility is their myopia !

War, War The government screams,
Send our boys to fight an opposing regime,
To help their brothers whose rights are denied,
Yet there will be casualties affecting both sides,
This is not a bad dream,
Communication should reign supreme!

War, war being fought in my nations name,
The heavy burden which just causes shame,
Kids fighting in and on our streets,
Parents guidance diluted, empty, deplete!
This is not a mummy state,
Nurturing should be innate!

People power can create peace,
Peace in one's mind, 
Is a peace of some kind, 
Peace on this earth,  
Would need a rebirth, 
For all of humanity,
To restore balance,
Hope and a sense of sanity!

The clock stopped, 
As the earth rocked, 
Ancient Teutonic plates, 
Move, shift and reshape, 
Life of man and scene, 
Buildings crumbled to smithereens. 

The clock crumbled, 
As the earth rumbled ,
People scared, unprepared,
As the earth moved, 
Settling into a new groove. 

The clock's smashed, 
Nature's thrashed,
Feelings frayed ! 
People feel betrayed, 
By a higher being, 
Controlling yet unseeing. 

The clock will tick, 
Towers rebuilt brick by brick,
Faith will once more be restored, 
The controlling force once more adored, 
Human's strength, will overcome the woes, 
Trees and plants and lives will regrow, 
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock 
Life continues it will not 
STOP!

The Will Of Love

The Will Of Love !

San Francisco Street Art 

Will I go ? 
Or do I stay ?
Did you love me ?
Why did you stray ?
Has our Love died ?
Have we tried ?

Will I go ?
Or do I stay ?
Do I love you ?
Has our love died ? 
A mortal decay? 

Will I go ?
Or will I stay ?
Will our love last ? 
For all our days ?
Will this love die ?
Will we try ?

I would not go, 
My heart still flows, 
My love is alive, 
We shall grow, 
Our love,
Will survive !
