S.T.O.P

S.T.O.P

Rose was just a kid,
Fleeting the war,
At just the age of four.
Split up by her parents,
Where she swam to shore,
Where they hoped for her to have a better life.
But than she was sent back home,
To where it all began.
A pain,she never felt before,
It hurt so bad she couldn’t breathe no more.

So why,why the fighting?
Please end the wars right now!
To many people hurt,
Stop the suffering now.
So why,why the fighting?
Please end the wars right now!
Before someone else dies.

We are told it doesn’t matter,
where we come from,
Or what we believe in.
We all live in the in the same word,
We are all made the same,
And we all make mistakes.
The only difference is:
You are you,
And I am me.
We might not look alike,
But we still feel the same ways as you and me.

So why,why the fighting?
Please end the wars right now!
To many people hurt,
Stop the suffering now.
So why,why the fighting?
Please end the wars right now!
Before someone else dies.

In 2018: 2,262 people lost their lives attempting to reach Europe via the Mediterranean Sea.
Christmas 2018: 5 boats,40 people made it across the channel to the Uk. They were sent back. 

They are many more stats but this was just to remind you that the problem hasn’t gone away. 

I was inspired a few years ago to write the poem S.T.O.P however it saddens me that the  problem is still relevant and isn’t going away. (all around the world, not just in Europe)

No one deserves to suffer,
No one deserves to be sent back to a war zone,
No one deserves to be refused.

(Personal opinion,we won’t all share the same)

I completely agree with you poppy, war is just never the answer to anything anyway and then when we don't help our fellow human being are we any better than the people who hurt them?
Awesome awareness write :)
