war

Why in our world there's always a war,
 Nations fight so long they forget what for,
 It's been like this since humans been here.
 battles take endless lives for obedience  and fear
 The first battle's fought.were fought by the tribes,
 Two men loved the same lady cost lots of lives
 Then came religion and the mess preachers made
 They fought to the death it was called a crusade,
 These groups who fought prayed to the same god
 But they still killed each other to me that was odd,
 Many have been killed cuz two kings can't agree,
 They even fight wars from ships on the sea
 They started wars using  swords and just shields,
 Now the weapons will leave bodies like fields,
 All the people who died in the wars on this earth,
 I don't think the reason  outweighed the worth,
 Fighting over land that's already lived on,
 And killing those people til there race is all gone,
 leaders who  start wars sacrificing their own race,
 Nothing but cowards fighting from a safe place,
all the blood in time that the earth has soaked up,
 Will never stop cuz there's to much corrupt..
