War
Why do we have war?
What's so good about war?
Close your eyes and try to imagine.
Gun shots,people fighting,pain,nursing the injured.
Those are just a few sounds of the battle grounds.
Why cant we live in peace?
Try and imagine being at honme and thinking when is your husband, wife, father, mother coming home.
Try thinking that after going to church there is a letter in the mail saying that your loved ones have gone missing.
Imagine the home coming and your dad never coming home.
Why do we have to fight?
Why cant we all get along?
Just imagine all of that and think is war worth it all.
