War V.S. Peace
In Iraq there is war/In Canada there is peace
In Iraq I see blood on streets/ In Canada I see blood on Halloween costumes
In Iraq I see and hear guns/ In Canada I see and hear guns in movies
In Iraq I see rockets blasting/ In Canada I see toy rockets blasting
In Iraq I sleep on the floor / In Canada I sleep on a cozy bed
In Iraq my dream, to stay alive / In Canada my dream, become a scientist
In Iraq there’s lots of hating/ In Canada there’s lot of loving
In Iraq I hear scream of torture/ In Canada I hear scream of happiness
In Iraq I have a broken shelter / In Canada I have a hard and a safe shelter
In Iraq I walk / In Canada I ride my bike
In Iraq I go to dirty places like streets with blood / In Canada I go to clean places like Niagara Falls
In Iraq they call me enemy / In Canada they call me friend
In Iraq they call me terrorist / In Canada they call me Bishal
In Iraq I see soldiers trying to kill me / In Canada I see soldiers trying to protect me
