Markus Jay Poet Free verse

Why?

they tell you we have to have war
         to secure peace
so mankind soaks up these lies
till they believe everything  
they are told
and what are they told?
that war is always fought 
over 
        what is right

so in the name of peace
bombs are dropped
for truth 
                justice  
                           and rights


 it`s the innocent
who wins the least
      by the ones
 that char the earth
      of this
               precious land
by the ones  
               who have
         bloodstained hands

so suffer does
               the whole of
                        mankind

so when
   the smell of death is in the air 
and the rivers flow with blood

and when
the innocent that
    cry with despair
and people pay 
                      the ultimate price 
      over a tiny piece of land

so will man
just bury their heads 
                       in the sand?
      or will they 
     show they truly care?
       
satan must be
              laughing at man
because he is
blind to all that is 
                            good

so they play his evil plan
as he turns him away from 
              the light

now life becomes darken night

 so all that is left now
    is a soul that`s
                just an  
              empty shell.
