Peace Is Better Than War

I prayed for peace No prayers were heard I wondered if God existed Their hands turned red Lots of blood on the ground I wondered whose blood was The world of today is rumbustious Their behavior is quiet obvious It's every humans' right to do as they "please" Who am I to restrict them from satisfaction of their desires? My hands are trussed We are lost with no direction like a wind We are at the deepest point Of which we can't simply make a knot For us to never get misled By our cold hearts that are devious Unable to forgive each other and bury the hatchet We have buried ourselves inside Inside we are dying with regret,outside we care less We live to set an example,be aware of the actions We need peace within ourselves The blood shed is enough We still need to live altogether Be peaceful like a dove,find peace planetary
