The world is darkening

Amidst the pain and blood

Spilled for age old conflicts

Peace they say is coming

Yet how many times before have those words been uttered?

Each time we look forward

To the end of war

And beginning of peace

Just to find ourselves

With something new to fight about

A million times we’ve all heard

Why can’t we all just get along?

The answer never clear

Yet alwayz there

Humans thrive on conflict

On fighting

On blood

On this never ending cycle

Only when we are all gone

Will peace occur

It saddens me to think

That the only thing our families and friends die for

Is the only thing we will never have
