Conflict

(Thank-you to Vinaya for helping with some of the lines)

Destroying the world beyond repair,

I can’t breathe, there’s no air.

The world is seeking refuge,

The destruction caused by war is huge.

And for their lives they fought,

But now they’re caught,

In a dangerous plot.

Everyone wants to be saved now,

But they don’t know how.

It is cold,

But they’re trying to be bold.

We’re all longing for peace,

Free from this seize.

Out of this prison cell,

Some place safe to dwell.

Why is peace so hard to find?

Or has that thought just left our minds?
