A Broken World

We hold the earth in our hands,
because it needs our protection,

War and violence roam the streets,
spreading like an infection.

The catastrophes vary,
burning churches and broken statues of Mary.

There's hatred towards other religions,
it's like a never ending conflict.
But think about God, would he really want this?

People in Gaza, seeing death and invasion,
just stop and think about our future generation.

What is our government going to do? How can they ignore?
They got money for war but can't feed the poor.
