Prayer for Iraq

Oruba Square and Karada, scenes destruction.
Children playing soccer, children killed by mortar
I hurt becos you hurt
who will comfort our mothers?
father survived the blast, only to be taken by an AK47
where is the innocence?
of the cousin who's only 7?

You've endured hell on earth, the dictator's wrath
when will peace be ur portion?
when will it be safe to shop in the market?
We never found the weapons of mass destruction
while your oil has been stolen,
leaving you poor, begging from door to door,
nation to nation, "please build us some infrastructure"
I wish I could be your savior
that you kids may 1nce more, sing from hearts of satisfaction.

This here is my prayer to God,
Rest for those who suffer, have mercy on the lost
judgement on the bombers, forgiveness for the sinners
The unconcerned, turn your brow to the powerless
for everyone that's last will become 1st
It's been too long, there've been too many tears
staining the brown dust of Baghdad's streets
sand and blood many of a victim, too soon forgotten
but don't you worry
Sustainable justice will soon become king.
