Dark

The sky is dark. 
Can you see what you have done?
What you caused?
People look but can not see,
See what the world is truly today
You only now what you are told
You never want to believe the fact that the world is coming
Coming to an end
You look in never looking out 
You kill each other day after day
When will this massacre end? 
When will you see it is for nothing?
The truth is you never stop
Only continue this unnecessary war 
Why?
Is it for power?
God cry’s down on you day after day
But it is not enough to wash away the darkness.
You make the sky dark
Can you cleanse it away and make it light again?
