Pandemonium

Peace has never been given beneath the withered dust of steadfast war
Armies gather in unity fighting for disagreements of what we’re here for
Negotiations have been sacrificed for the loyalty of a forgotten country
Democratic and republican parties forget the reasons we need to be free
Entering a new era of racism and conflict, no union can be easily found
Men and women proudly on the front line so we won’t become homebound 
Opportunities for jobs await while the world worries about their tweets
Nine eleven created an outbreak of anxiety to walk the city streets
Isis is in France with suicide bombers creating slaughters of the masses
Underneath bridges lies starvation, let us pray this poverty passes
Maybe with proper leadership we can try to rid the world of fascists

So sad that it just keeps on this way forever and ever. A clever way to use that word, Laura Loo!! I hope I can do as well.

Very well expressed opinion/s on pandemonium, Laura. What we need is a brand new start, politically and religiously. Ideals and beliefs have been twisted and corrupted. Need for a rebirth! ~ Best wishes...paul
