When Peace Is Slain by ~Xion-ace:iconXion-ace:



All over the world there is chaos and turmoil.
There are wars being raged and blood staining the soil.

And our motivations are such a disgrace,
Fighting over things like religion and race.

We attack foreign evils when we are willing,
But who's really bad when both sides are killing?

Although through history everyone always tries,
You can't make a man see through another man's eyes.

We are constantly striving to bring the world peace,
But people still fight with no intent to cease.

No matter how long and how hard that we fight,
There will always be darkness in the presence of light.

If one is cruel to another, then he turns unkind,
But an eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind.

And through all our fighting there can only be pain,
For we are all our own victims when peace is slain.

Author's Comments

Something I made before my freshman year that I was really proud of. I wanted to make a statement and bring up the violence in the world. No matter what, world peace is probably just going to be a dream. However, no matter how much I hate the chaos in the world, I fully support our troops and my prayers are with our boys overseas.
