War

Drifting through the untouchable plains
Dead men's souls, so many pains
It stings to see the world alight 
"Here take a gun, come join the fight" 

I find it hard to comprehend 
The distance we go to kill and fend 
What we call justice is just a mask
For the truth lies untold, impossible task

Families scorned and left torn apart
In the rubble of war, the still beating heart
