Why ISIS Does Not Fathom Peace

ISIS brings spirits a demise

To see how dark the world can get

Removing composure from eyes

To see how some minds can be set

They fight for something they believe in

Not knowing the joke is on them

Thinking they're doing Islam a favor

When they're really just destroying it

If only one could talk sense to them

Tell them that what they're doing is wrong

Yet that would be totally foolish

As they won't stop singing war songs

They're not willing to open their minds

Millions of Muslims don't condone their actions

They feel so completely and direly bad

It seems that there's nothing modest Muslims can do

To a world gone so sad and mad

We'll never know for sure

What the driving force really is

Some videos and reports say

That it's a result of the power hungry leaders

Who are performing intricate black magic

To brainwash and whitewash young minds

Yet we'll never know for sure

The answers aren't clear

Everything about ISIS is a blur

And so hearts are filled with fear

Truly the joke was on them

Yet they see it not

People just want to get on with their lives

Yet some people would kill for power

And that's why they fight and strive

And even if we stood atop a high tower

Calling them to stop, it seems that they won't

And so the world descends into a whirl of chaos

Although saints and heralds would call for love

Those whose hearts and spirits that are made of

Purity and simplicity, ISIS would heed them not

For surely some minds get so strained, they begin to rot

From all the poverty, yet that will never justify

Why so many have to tragically die

If only there's something we can do

To inspire upon such regions the meaning of peace

Yet it all seems fruitless, and down a cycle we go

And the end to all this, is something we'll never know

Surely all we need, is a positive and enlightened change

To somehow throw ourselves into a newer reality and age

Where peace, love and empathy into our hearts is filled

Where people all over can live happily, and not have to be killed

We Are Capable Of Infinite Patience And Strength

The hardships go on, all through the days

Emotions flow all the time, left to right

We try to find purpose, then all seems to fade

Fade before the sorrows which life has filled us in

And then we search for answers, although the answers were simple

Usually the complex answers don't carry meaning

We seek the omens of those who lived before

To hear what they said, to better improve our lives

Although the answer always lay within, in our core

And surely, all of us will have the chance to soar

For even within Hell, one has the chance for redemption

For God always gives a chance, but why?

Because hope never dies

It's lit as a fire that rests in us

It keeps us alive with every passing day

It exists in the words that we always say

And surely there was a power when one prays

To be able to shun all the darkness far away

For within us all exists a persistence so supreme

It battles through everything, no matter what

And surely such a gift, which surely has no measure or length

Exists within that infinite capacity within us all, for patience and strength

Armageddon

The world's a breeze

We try to take it with ease

Yet the darkness within does release

And we may never know the meaning of peace

From the depths of Earth we ask for more

More of serenity, yet there are wars

Which go on and on until we all die

And then all children and women do cry

And so the misery goes on, and even God above

May very well weep, witnessing a world devoid of love

Yet still it goes on, never will we know harmony

Even though the one main prize is that of tranquility

Soon enough the Armageddon will consume us all

And from there will God give his final call

And surely, the only way for all of this to end

Is to make the entirety of humanity, our dearest friend
