When I was 7, in primary school
There was this girl in my class
Who no one wanted to sit next to
And who was so different from us
Her hair and skin were darker
She spoke with a strange accent
The other kids would often gossip
But I didn't understand
So I took the empty seat next to her
And she became my friend

When I was 15, in the 10th grade
We studied wars  in history
Which were so full of death and hate
And crimes against humanity
They left towns in ruins, mothers cry
All in the name of a fatherland
For that it's pride it was okay to kill
But I didn't understand
How fast friends became enemies
Just because of one command

When I watched the news recently
There was this politican on TV
Who gave a speech full of hate
And claimed to know the enemy
He said they were so dangerous
A threat to our culture and land
Audience and media would applaud
But I didn't understand
Couldn't see how they were evil
Just a little different

Now I am 17 standing here
In the middle of war all against all
Where everyone is the enemy
And just waits to see the other fall
New faces and the old hatred
In a war with out an end
That still
I can't understand

We don't have to hate each other
Please do take my hand
Please don't let us be enemies
But let me be your friend

-A/N true story. Idk why I thought writing this was a good idea.
