Wars For What?

All the wars for what? For nothing.
Children join in fight,
Soldiers walk towards the field.
Parents cry for a child lost,
A husband gone and not come back.
Give me one good reason to hurt.
All alone. No one left.
Everyone gone. Everyone dead.
Let me ask,
Did they deserve to die for believing
In something else?
For having a faith someone can't stand?
Give me one good reason to hurt.
All the souls deserve a chance, And life.
