War Divided

war across the world dividing the world blood lines
royalty don't die just the soldiers do first
first it's i want this land and i want that
but no one counts the cost of death to occupy
instead of intellectual conversations promoting 
prosperity for all
it's instant demolition leaving soldiers slain against walls
fields, homes, and thrones 
thrones unsoiled by blood but it reeks of death
the innocent are never protected just called slaves
war across the world dividing lands into property
without a single name nature wrote in stone herself
just mothers of lands questioning there lost by war
