Pray For All Poem by Stanley Oguh

Pray For All



We live in such a horrible world,
wherein people are killed everyday.
Yet solidarity is selective in our
words,
for which group of people should
we pray.
It seems like your faith matters,
It seems like your race matters.
It doesn't matter if humanity is
shattered,
If you're Muslim; you don't matter.
People dead in Orlando, pray for
them,
people dead in Belgium, pray for
them.
People dead in Paris, pray for them,
but when in Saudi, or Turkey and
Dhaka,
they say don't even say Pray for
them.
Is this what we are?
Monsters without hearts?
Is it only your people
that fly with the stars?
Terrorism has no religion,
and today is your proof.
Open your eyes and listen,
because this is the truth.
No matter who it is, if innocent
people are killed,
we shall stand together for the
blood that's been spilled.
Lets not forget and throw away the
humanity inside us,
we need to unite against the hatred
that has us divided and split.
