Why do we fight?
battling over useless ideas,
that eventually become a gruesome sight.

Why do we war amongst each other?
sister arguing with sister,
brother murdering brother.
We soon become deranged and crazed from such
chaos.

why do we target others?
Labeling one another enemies of our cause.
We hate those, who we once called ‘friend’.

Why can’t we just stop?
Instead, lets make peace,
lets be rid of this chaos, this Hatred.
Let us not be a society of evil and darkness,
but a world of compassion and love.
