We Are the Stuff That Screams Are Made Of

What makes a man hate his own kind so much? What gives him a spine of steel and a heart of ice? Place your hand in the soil you will touch the substance of a million murdered souls. This world is a battle field, a place of carnage. Somewhere in the world men are killing men. I do not see peace waiting ahead of us. Oh to born with a kind soul, That can see beauty everywhere, That flies with the dove upon the wind. Makes double the sadness to enter this cage of fear. Come drink with me now, for tomorrow we will kill each other. Take the last of the sunlight to your heart in a song, For the darkness will not be denied for very long.

A verse that is profound and causes deep thought. Using wonderful visuals and good language, you were able to portray a fact that many people are unwilling to discuss. The status of human life is deteriorating, and the scary risk is exacerbating the dilemma. Please check my reply to your comment, and thank you for your feedback.
