War and Our World
Wars unite countries and people through anger and loss,
Love for their country and beliefs stronger than cooperation,
Children are using guns; becoming leaders of gangs,
Terror and anger ignite a mad passion for revenge.
As the western world unite in hope of stopping destruction,
Others are fighting for their freedom and for peace,
Blood is shed as lives are lost,
Our leaders say to unite and fight no matter what the cost.
We bring our children in to this world; hoping for peace and harmony,
Despite that it will never happen we still hope...
Hope that our world leaders will pause and reflect on all the damage,
That the bloodshed will stop and leave a world less savage.
