Prayer for Peace

I'm only but a child
whose mind is full of pain
from watching the world,
who doesn't know my name
or know that I'm here
crying silent blue tears
as I stumble over fear
from those who wish harm
upon me and everyone
because we are not them,
and God's will will be done
for they see us as the enemy
as we try to get on with life
and ignore the growing danger
while they stab us with their ignorant knife.
I can't shut my eyes.
I can't close my mind.
I will not leave everyone behind.
I will face the danger.
I will face the threat.
I won't be afraid.
9/11 I won't forget.
If you wish to harm me,
I will open Hell's gate
and show you what a true American really is
as well as seal your fate
because I won't die
just because I'm not you,
and I'll defend my country
because my loyalty is true!
All these tears that I shed
will be for strangers I never met,
but I love this world
while Peace is a dream that I won't forget.
