Art of War

Arguments become disagreements.
Some want to challenge.
They tend to use violence.
With a lot of aggression and full of hostility.
Now days there are so much lack of sympathy.
Lots not forget jealousy plays a big role. 
Was your suspicion the first to know?
So many disputes are just rivalries.
Fights start because there is no apologies.
How can we leave out gossip.
That he-she say or just mouthing off of the lip.
The spreading of rumors.
When you don’t know the source to it now that is true humor.
What starts a war is racial indifferences and religion.
My Lord forgive me for my transgressions
What did I forget to mention?
I think hate is the word I’m looking for.
Battles are only won when there is reason and purpose for war.
