Who asked for peace
At 12:00pm in the Chi?
Or in Harlem, New York by their mouth?
Who asked for peace
When the Klu Klux Klan cries?
Who asked for peace for those tourists in the south?
Who asked or peace
For kids no one seems to care about?
Who asked for peace
For the Neo-Nazi preying on the un-expecting Jew?
Who asked for peace without having to shout?
Who asked the skin head why he do what he do?
Who asked for peace?
WHO asked for peace for the
Kids who get shot each year?
Or their families who have to cry
Undying tears?
Who asked for peace
For the kids caught up in the streets?
Or the secrets that certain people Are forced to keep?
Who asked for peace?

I did.
