The way it is

People all over the world are mad

War is deadly and very sad.

Children are the ones paying

All morning they sit praying.

A bomb has no sympathy

It kills with no empathy.

The war was caused by terror

Whose at fault, look in the mirror?

People show all kinds of hate

The end of the world seems to be fate.

Fighting this war just to obtain oil

We need our troops back on our soil.

This war seems to never come to an end

Our troops are fighting hard to defend.

All countries need to get along

Everyone fighting is just wrong.

Togetherness is how we should be

That’s why today all of us are free.

All this fighting just raises our taxes

People keep dying that’s just the way it is.

Our troops need to come back home

Being the best seems like a syndrome.

Why keep making everywhere else better

I will keep writing till I get the answer.

This fighting needs to come to a halt

If more people die it’s not my fault.
