Descending

descending
if humans are killed
for nothing
then what is the use
of humanity
if we are to live 
just in illusion
what is the use 
of life 

descending
what do we need
that we don't 
have 
except our greed
what do we need 
to offer to life 
if not truth 
for the sake of
love

descending
wars profits
the bad 
while it kills
the innocent
in diverse ways
instead of fighting
for just a region
why not fight for
human unity
where wars 
can never be 
a reality
no more 

descending
in shadows
our dreams are 
buried through
our ugly reality
we are in need of
peace 
yet our peace
profits the men 
that creates wars
