| WHY |
| A dark cloud upon this land, making the prettiest object unsightly to gaze at, Darkest scarlet running through every blade of grass, every tarmac pavement, Deepest ebony charring the beauty which once stood proud for all to see, Nowhere is safe, not even the place you call home, from all the destruction and death. People fighting for freedom, for what they believe in, for peace, Evil attacks upon innocent bystanders, being injured, even killed, Bloodshed, heartache, anger, frustration, panic, fear, War between families, friends, acquaintances and enemies. Rape, muggings, drugs, to name just a few things which we are subject to, Feelings of being frightened to go out, or stay in, nowhere is safe, Being locked behind steel doors, like caged animals who were once wild and free, No longer to breathe in the aroma of flowers, or walk to the park, or play in the fields. People still having children, making them live a life of tragedy and pain, Giving them a yoke to bear, so heavy upon their small necks, did they ask for this? Subjecting them to the wars and battles, be they large or small, Take a look around, what do you see, how do you feel? It turns my stomach, it makes me feel ill with pain, with hurt and heartache, Watching the visions within the city, a country, the world, Why are we allowing this to happen, why subject our children to this? What have we done to the beauty and peace, which once was? We are ruining this world, our planet, we are destroying the beauty, Fighting will not bring peace, you can not win over evil with evil, Why has this happened, how did it start, how are we going to stop it? There must be a way, one which does not involve death and destruction. |
