Further War Does Not Create Peace!

Poem

We have seen too much death we have seen mass destruction, and we allowed it to continue through political construction.

The fire in our soul that knows it all wrong, thrown into doubt for the tales they tell strong.

We have seen it before, and we have been shown proof, from Iraq to Afghanistan, it's all the same route.

Attacks of such ferocity hit countries a plenty, so much destruction as their pockets you empty.

Stop the bombing please, stop the carnage you cause, the innocent people killed by your greed, with your hideous wars.

But there is a knowledge beginning to build, as our minds throw out the fraud, and new thinking is filled.

There is a truth beginning to shine, we are now seeing proof that you fucked with our minds.

Your attacks, your treachery, your lack of humanity, you will no longer control us and mess with our sanity.

Your world it will crumble and lay at thy feet, we knock down your walls of loathsome deceit.

Your puppeteers will fail, your strings will be cut, when we all finally say, enough is enough.

This world must change, for the better we hope, because we cannot remain on your slippery slope.
