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
