We wait in anticipation
Knowing that any day could be the end
We tried to make peace
But that just ended in more pain
He calls himself a leader
Leading them to poverty and death
When will it end?
When can we shake hands,
Live without fear,
Be happy?
We fight with each other
Fight with ourselves
Friends become enemies
Love becomes hatred
We stare each other in the eye
No one flinches, fidgets, or fumbles
Waiting for the other to blink first
But no one does
So we sit there and wait
And wait
And wait
