War is an excuse.
War is powerful.
War can take everything you own away from you.
War can be protection.
War is hate.
War is happening as we speak.
War happens every day,
in our homes,
in our churches,
in our schools,
and in our country.
War is a selfish act.
Was is wanting more than we need.
War is not right.
War starts as a little problem,
but quickly progresses.
War is a way to take our anger out on the innocent,
and get away with it.
War is killing
War is destroying lives,
and humanity.
