Why is the outcome always war?
Every day misery takes more.
Robbing father and son, mother and sibling.
Leaving scars that won’t heal.
Turning life into an ordeal.
Allowing hate to breed unchecked.
Look another life is wrecked.
Political extremism is at the fore.
Every time we blink all we see is gore.
Denying life for paper printed and named a bill.
Future hope has been cut.
Out of heaven we have been shut.
Dowsed in kerosene and lit.
Positivity died in this god forsaken shit.
Drowning in the blood of friends.
There is no coming back from this precipice again.
