Numb

The war of wars has no end, makes all a prisoner, no hero, no friend. Numb from hurt, disgust and despair. Once loved is lost and lives in fear. Turning good so very bad, morality gone, becomes selfish and sad. Hearts become stone, hard and cold. Caring for no one young and old. Darkness consumes at any age, taking the soul with full rage. Hurting all that's in their path, patiently waiting for God's wrath. Numb from life, no feelings but shame. This is true war, not just a game. Hearts are broken and families torn, many tears falling, many to mourn. Always ending horribly wrong, praying not with a religious song. Please wake up and see the light, numb is the war we need to fight!
