Crossed Up At Birth

How could anyone in their right mind Choose war over peace Conflict over stability Upset over a smooth flow Please enlighten me before I pass into the ages Maybe I'm missing a few brain cells But it is totally illogical to me We carry on with our day to day activities But looming in the back of the minds Of all the peace loving souls in the world Remains this fear that we're heading For a disaster of monumental proportions My days here on earth are relatively short In comparison but I still find it Totally unbelievable and I'm absolutely appalled That so-called intelligent human beings Lose track of what this life is all about Are their genes unique different to us normal folks Did something get crossed up at birth Help me! I just don't understand Is there a cause worth dying for? I know not one if you ask me The only one and most important thing in life Is love of our family and our fellow humans Where did I go wrong in this assessment Please someone HELP ME!

That's it Jack, they're not right in the head born without a few decent cells in their bodies. The list is endless, make love not war. Tom
