The world is darkening
Amidst the pain and blood
Spilled for age old conflicts
Peace they say is coming
Yet how many times before have those words been uttered?
Each time we look forward
To the end of war
And beginning of peace
Just to find ourselves
With something new to fight about
A million times we’ve all heard
Why can’t we all just get along?
The answer never clear
Yet alwayz there
Humans thrive on conflict
On fighting
On blood
On this never ending cycle
Only when we are all gone
Will peace occur
It saddens me to think
That the only thing our families and friends die for
Is the only thing we will never have
