Sometimes it is hard to understand why people do what they do.
Why people hate like they do
Why people fight like they do?

It's not easy to contain an ever-growing conflict
All in the name of power and status
Feeding the ideology of madness.

Prepare yourself for the reality
What gain do you have from people dying rapidly
Thorns sprouting from hearts vapidly.

Each soul that is heavily costed
Let it be a reminder of all the lives scorched
As the guilt consumes and the mind exhausted.

Lands not created by human hands
Marks from seas to the sands
Entertaining the possibility of a Neverland.

Wake Up! No one wins an endless battle
If the battle does not enact peace for all
No life is worth losing to war.
