I do not want to live
In a world where
People are hungry and homeless
While mansions lay empty.
I do not want to live
In a world where
People are repressed under cloth
Of religious banner
I do not want to live
In a world where
People are killed and maimed
For honour and belief
I do not want to live
In a world where
People are thrown from roofs
Because of who they love
I do not want to live
In a world where
People spit ridicule and bile
To control another’s life
I do not want to live
In a world where
People have to choose
To risk death or run
I do not want to live
In a world where
People label their neighbour
Rather than ask their name
I do not want to live
In a world where
People are educated to
Become pawns in the game
I do not want to live
In a world where
Brother corrodes brother
In odious bitter cycle
I do not want to live
In a world where
Desire to be one of the masses
Stops us being individuals
I want to live
In a world where
People are free
To be people.
