I used to trust in them
As the deliverer
They visited shores of my people
And together with the diaspora 
Worked for peace on the island
No to terrorism
And no to state sponsored violence
A table
Where the people gathered around
To talk
And to fight
Over differences
Points of view
Collective wounds
I was only eight
When they agreed
We will hold it together
It’s been twenty five years
And somehow the faith still keeps
Enough to bridge the gap
Now my eyes are drawn to the map
Of hostile states
Independent actors
And hate 
But the mighty take sides 
Where is their peace agreement
And how can they broker calm
If they are the ones ringing the alarm
I call for everyone
Everyone, everywhere
To say
I see you
To not flinch or turn away
When the burning gets too strong
Or when you’re pulled by where you belong 
There is peace
Just beyond the field that you can see
I know because it was there for me
When I sank in despair
Amid my own cries of “it’s not fair”
And it may not be
But there’s still a God who see
Everything that you do
And the crimes you commit visit you
In the dark of a subterranean night
How do you tell your children it will be alright
While you starve the 40%
And I was not sent
Here to stand by
The millions, the millions that will die
If we do nothing now
I’ve got to claim something, somehow 
And if it will end then let me know
Coz from where I stand it is blow for blow
As we hit the decks
Will we only wake up when the world is wrecked
