Why War? by crowbar(m): 7:38pm On Dec 22, 2014 |
Have we hated ourselves to death, And don't know what it does to our health? Is it because of gold and power and land That we make strategies well planned, To take by force fellow humans' lives With hearts where wickedness thrives? Is it because of speech variations That we make such separations Between human and human Not minding that we are one? Is it because the strong want to bully The weak and make them slave? War here, war there, no good reason. Massacres and brutality, no explanations given. The dead lay open from end to end One can no longer trust a friend. We need to shift our dozing Mind, We need to know we're mankind. Barbarians have taken over our earth Killing for fun and the love of wealth. But if you and I should our hands clasp, And goodness in our minds grasp, What a bond that will be! A bond that truly sets us free! 1 Like 1 Share |
