Peace Broken
Another lost night
When all should be calm
Hearts render in fight
Words painful and long
For a wish just to slumber
That they may find peace
Alas but my knowing
They’ll never release
So subjected I lay there
Peace broken again
When all that is wanted
Are sweet dreams to begin
When shall they see it
For both seem are blind
The volatile ramblings
Elevating with time
Think of the children
Know wee eyes will see
All of the pain
And disharmony
For this paves their future
These sounds of the night
Instills in wee hearts
Fear and much fright
For how can you naught
Both see what you do
You think that they sleep
Through what you both do?
Are you both proud?
Of your legacy
Do you not wish
For their happiness be
Now comes the time
Please open your eyes
Long overdue
See their sad eyes
For know that you both
Their future you pave
A life of acceptance
For violence and hate
My prayers go to them
These wee little ones
The guarding of children
Their angel will come
But for now I can only
With peace broken lay
Unsettled heart
And so much dismay
Only to wish
For one peaceful night
In which is broken
May peace bring her light
