War

This World.
This worlds that is
filled with havoc.
Why couldn't we 
have a world 
filled with peace.
Sometimes I wonder,
how did we get this way.
Love is not being
spread around.
Hate is.
They are both
very strong words.
Children shouldn't
grow up
watching, hearing,
or even seeing
people die.
And why?
Because God didn't
create war.
Man did.
