WAR

 Regardless of land, cause, or nation
Does not every parent love their human creations?
Why do we allow the leaders of a selected few
To take away and destroy what belongs to me and you.

Who gave them the right to exercise such fear
To send to war and hurt and kill those so very dear
The lands of the world strewn with youthful dead
For causes and reasons now long gone;  they were led.

Blood of the youth and each time without shame
My God; my God; who is to blame?
No more to hug and kiss and taste of the wine
A part of humanity whose loss we eternally pine.

To have denied them the images of living scenes
An end to life's beauty and accomplishments as a dream
How long will we continue this destruction of man
Allow the youth to live and contribute when they can.

The beginning of a conflict starts with those men of age
Bloody battles for another part of histories page
Aren't the young eligible to live their segment of life
To have work, children, and also a wife?
