WAR

A senseless act of thugery
Murdering the world's military
War is a crime to humanity
Where no one is free

Religion preaches forgiveness
But devides the masses
Religion preaches peace
While killing to the extreme 

We fight over Race
The colour of our face
Shread our skin to see
We're all the same beneath

Who owns the land
Where we all stand
The ground we save
That neighbour's invade

Children raised to hate
Sealing their untimely fate
What they need to see
Teach them to live free

What we all need
Is a life of total peace
What we all adore
Is an end to all war

Enjoyed your insightful poem. So many good points. And if it wasn't such a money maker(for those who don't deserve it), it would be more peaceful too.
