Human Race Draft

where have all
our humanity gone?
living in a world so cold
we fight these wars
say its for a better cause 
but we're only hurting ourselves
if we keep this up
we won't have much luck
and the next generation won't do well
we need to stop hurting and hating one another 
we all came from the same 'mother'
we need to learn to love what's within
it doesn't matter male or female
it doesn't matter what language
we shouldn't hate each others' skin
we are stronger when united
we fall apart when divided
we need to stop all this violence
for our children to create a better world
we should see stars in the sky
not missiles or bombs flying high
stop the bullying of boy and girls
we pride in our greed 
and ignore the scarcity of our needs
