How much pain can a body stand,
Or is the soul so tough,
Why do we have conflicting views,
When is Enough, enough,
How many lives must be lost before,
Man can see what has been done,
Death is the only victor here,
The innocent haven't won.
Why can't we feed the hungry,
Or house those that live it rough,
Where is the medical care,
There just isn't enough.
Instead of buying bullets and bombs,
To maim, to kill and burn,
Utilise it, and educate,
Those who wish to learn.
