WHY CAN'T YOU LOOK AT MY CARNATION

WHY CAN'T YOU LOOK AT MY CARNATION

Streets and squares full of people
Skyline full of hands reaching up
Heads together shoulder to shoulder
Sky full of carnations
pink and red
Tunes of peace and love in the air
Youth has risen up
for a change for a
future full of peace
respect
love
tolerance
Carnations write the poem
of their journey

With helmets and
face shields
you shield yourself from me
My friend, you are the one
with pepper gas capsules
you pull the trigger of
water cannons
We are the ones with no gear
beaten to death day after day

What is it you're hiding from
behind your shield
Look at me in the eye
See the peace in my eyes
See the invitation to freedom
to true brotherhood
in that carnation I extend to you
That, you can not bring
yourself to look at.
