The Evils of War

Was not every one a child? Joy to their mother and father And growing up as a kid With wonder and laughter Then they go to school Playing games having fun And become a voice for others When they don’t have one Then some give hope to the people Giving speeches from their tower Then commits inhumane atrocities When they get the taste of power Today the worlds are full of hate An evil that has no end While many starves to death For war money are spend Men like Adolph Hitler, Robert Mugabe George bush Jr, tony Blair, ayatollah Khomeini Kim jong ll, idi amin, Benjamin Netanyahu Just to name a few criminals of humanity Pol pot murders millions in Cambodia And the world close their eyes The unspeakable crimes in Rwanda Where over 500.000 people dies I guess if the country had oil They would have been alive today But if you are poor nation The United Nations looks the other way Some kill in the name of religion Some kills to steal your land Some are kill by drones for just Attending a wedding function Hundreds of innocent are killed By drones that they can’t see But they are just collateral damage But not those at Benghazi North Korea says we have weapons of destruction's right here But they went to search in Iraq Kill millions but find it nowhere The evils of war will continue Many more bad days still to past More war criminals to be born And be children playing on the grass Many choose to cover their eyes If it doesn't affect them, they don’t care So while sit here writing this poem I can’t help it but shed a tear
