All The Same

Beirut

Bangkok
Paris
Baghdad
Sarajevo
Jakarta
Istanbul
Brussels

At first, it would seem,

A list of travel destinations,

When really, it is just,

A reminder of our dereliction.

How a day, could begin,

With the hope of a new dawn,

And end, so suddenly,

A gory city torn.

This cause of yours,

Not at all worth a war -

When this travesty of religion

Is the tragedy of a nation.

How long before this red curtain call,

Before we extinguish these scorching flames,

Before we see that it's how we're all different,

That makes us all the same.
