Peace Should Come Easy

A world full of violence is no world at all,
                                               rather a planet of hatred.
                                 Each and every person is seemingly small,  
                                  but one choice could do so much damage.

                                        Guns are pulled before thoughts, 
                                         excuses are made for the crimes.
                                          Late bar fights in parking lots,
                                          mostly for their entertainment.

                                             What happened to when 
                                                our country was ours
                                          and we didn't have to send
                                             out troops to protect it?

                                          What happened to the time
                                                  to get on a plane
                                           you walked through a line
                                         and belongings were private?
   
                                      The world would be a better place
                                        if people could just get along.
                                        I hope someone's able to erase
                                          all of this unnecessary chaos.

It is sad that humans have this dark side. I wish more people thought the same way as you do. A very thought provoking piece.
