Gang banger (Poem)

From the inner city streets
to Waigani - gang bangers
why must you kill?
Too many dead babies
Too many weeping mothers
Too many lost sisters and brothers
It’s time to call a truce
Time to give love and understanding
A chance and see what peace will
produce.
We know that death and destruction
is all that war is worth and
that’s exactly what we’ll get
if we don’t get along and
share this earth.
Gang bangers - don’t bang any more
Gang bangers - do we need another war.
Gang bangers - put your banging tools away and let’s approach tomorrow in a brand new way.
Gang bangers it’s time to end
the violence and stop the wars!
Gang bangers - please!
Don’t bang any more!
