In 1914-1918 over 16 million people died during world war 1,

Then in 1939-1945 over 80 million people died during world war 2,

And now 10,204 Civilians Killed In Syria In 2017 by a terrorist group who call themselves Isis...


How many more wars need to start before we make a change,

How many more innocent lives need to be taken,

Someones Son,

Someones Daughter,

Someones Mother,

Someones Brother,

Someones Dad,

someones sister.

Dead.

The worst part of it is,

we are fighting over money and power,

gone are the times we could live in harmony,

Because everyone wants to be top on the hierarchy,


Those soldiers now have shell shock,

otherwise known as PTSD,

That little girls parents have died,

now  she's scared and lost count of the tears she has cried,


Presidents taking political Issues onto twitter,

and ranting about them, which not only offends other countries,

but also creates arguements within civvilians,


Put down your guns,

Set all your weapons on fire,

sit at a table and talk,

make a deal,

make it fair,

No one has to die for money and Power,

No one has to kill for Money and power,

Where is your humanity,

In the bible, in the Qu'ran, In almost every holy book it tells you the same thing somewhere,

do not kill,

weather your korean or english or american or syrian,

weather your white or black or mixed,

You can talk it out.

Power and money is not worth dying over,

power and money is not worth a war.
