"stop This War"

I wish the people that could stop this war would.

Let's bow our heads and say a prayer.
For the men and women over there.
Fathers,mothers,sisters,brothers,husbands,wives.
Fighting for our freedom giving up their lives.
Walking on roads paved with blood and tears.
Showing their strength and showing no fears.
The smell of death fills the air.
The people there thinks no one cares.
Please feel our pain and stop this war.
No one here wants this anymore.
Think of their children that cry at night.
When they say their prayers they want us to make it right.
