War and Peace

One cold dark night I saw the sign, The writings on the wall
Telling people "Peace not War"
Don't let the whole world fall
The leaders say just bomb them all 
And hope that will be the end
But someones always wanting more
They will even kill their friends
Terrorism & racial gangs 
All trying to be "Top Dog" 
Not caring who gets hurt on the way
To their journey to the top
When the innocent lay dead at their feet
And their status stays the same
The killings become more extreme
And all because they just want fame!
What happened to the peaceful world?
What makes a person so cruel?
Bombs placed in public places,
Shootings going off at schools
I'm sure we wernt evolved for this
To murder just for fun
And all these different religious beliefs
Just shoved in everyone
The world it is our home, our place
Yet it is dying everyday
Through members of the human race
We will lose this place one day
So people lay down your arms & bombs
Let everybody unite 
This world it is for everyone
So just give up the fights!!

Nicely done, Trinity. Unfortunately, there's too much money to be made in the bombing business on many different levels
