What Are We Fighting For

I think I’m pretty sure I don’t care anymore. Where it went so wrong I’m not so sure. As I go to leave, I slam the door. I ask myself, what are we fighting for? I watch the world come apart in front of me. Destruction and plight as far as the eye can see. As we send our children off to another war, ,I ask myself, what are we fighting for? My life seems like a tangled web; My emotions they begin to ebb. As I look to the future what is in store I ask myself, what are we fighting for? This life I lead has it’s good and bad, Times of sorrow along with times I’m glad As I pick the pieces up off the floor, I ask myself, what are we fighting for? We need to give peace a chance to grow, Then it shall become all that we know. Feed the hungry and help the poor, I remember this is what we are fighting for…
