Unresolved Crimes

We fight,
We cry,
And ask ourselves why?

Why did we have to start
To tear our own race apart.
With an endless war,
That has no end
That we cannot mend.

Why is it ok to kill someone else's brother,
For the sake of a religious gain?

If I killed your brother would you think the same?
Religion is not a game!

Look what happened to the crusades,
A long Time ago
In the name of their religion,
They had nothing left to show,

Of what was a holy place
A Long time ago.
