Details At Five
Want the chance to at least try.
for my words to be right.
And not a blight.
So many thoughts
on the doings of the world today.
Not understanding anything they say.
As the world continues to fall apart,
So hurts my heart.
People living in fear
Their enemy lurks near.
Who is wrong who is right ,
That don't matter ,just the fight.
Just to those that lead
To the victims they pay little heed
Their just another news feed .
Details at five
Pity the souls no longer alive
More brothers and sisters lost
Humanity pays the cost
Life so casually tossed aside.
And I must confide.
I want no one to die.
No family to have to cry.
Why?
No one wins
Who pays for these sins.
Humanity with all its pride.
Caught in midstride..
The future becomes unknown. ... the past has shown,
No one can win all really loose.
But war is still what they choose.
Explain this to me,
Help me to see.
Has hate became so free.
With all this strife.
The cost of human life.
What lesson have we learned.
What has been earned.
this is not right,
But still, we fight.
